Rule 1705 Preliminary Objections

If you want to challenge a class action complaint early in a case, you must bring all of your objections together at once. You cannot file one objection now and save others for later.

Some challenges are not allowed at this early stage at all. If you disagree with the facts behind the claims that a case should be treated as a class action, you cannot raise those disputes through preliminary objections. Instead, you must wait and address those factual disagreements in your formal answer to the complaint.
