    PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF AGGREGATE

                                   LITIGATION



                  CHAPTER 1.   DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES

§ 1.04. The Internal Objectives of Aggregate Proceedings

C.A.Vet.Cl.2019. Rptr's Note to com. (a) cit. in diss. op. Veteran, on behalf of himself and similarly
situated persons, filed a petition for extraordinary relief in the form of a writ of mandamus, seeking an
order directing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to decide appeals from decisions on disability
compensation filed by veterans facing medical or financial hardship within one year. On rehearing en
banc, this court denied veteran's motion for class certification, holding that veteran failed to satisfy the
commonality  requirement, because there was no common question regarding the cause of delay in the
appeals filed by veteran and other members of the proposed class. The concurring and dissenting
opinion argued in favor of certifying the proposed class and appointing counsel for veteran as class
counsel, reasoning, in part, that, under Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation §§ 1.04 and 1.05,
counsel for veteran would fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class. Monk v. Wilkie, 30
Vet.App. 167, 196.

year. On rehearing en banc, this court denied veteran's motion for class certification, holding that
