Can owners class-action developers?

Legal analysis: the owner can sue the developer collectively, or he can choose several representatives to go through legal procedures. If there is a contract with the developer, the developer breaches the contract first, and the owner can file a lawsuit unilaterally, asking the developer to perform the contract and compensate.

Legal basis: Article 52 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if one or both parties have the same object of action or the same object of action, and the people's court thinks that the trial can be combined with the consent of the parties, it is a * * * lawsuit. * * * If one party to the same lawsuit has the same rights and obligations with respect to the subject matter of the lawsuit, the litigation behavior of one party is recognized by other * * * co-litigants, and becomes effective for other * * * co-litigants; If there are no * * * same rights and obligations on the subject matter of litigation, one of the litigants' actions will not be effective for other litigants with the same * * *.

Article 53 If a party has a large number of people, the parties may elect agents to conduct litigation. The litigation behavior of a representative is valid for the party he represents, but the representative must obtain the consent of the principal if he changes, gives up or acknowledges the litigation request of the other party and makes a settlement.
