In order to file an admissible class action, a qualified entity is not required to prove that at least two consumers sustained damages. In class action proceedings, the claimant's party comprises a group of persons who are not nominally defined (as to the number of persons in it or as to their particular identity), but only identifiable by particular features. Only the persons who bring the claim on behalf of the class must be individualized and meet the characteristics determining their belonging to the class. Those persons are not considered the claimant but the claimant is only the group entity (the "class"), as a group of persons meeting certain characteristics. That said, the requirement for individualization is not applicable in the case in hand when the relevant class is represented by an entity qualified for protection against violations of collective interests of consumers. The right of the defendant to file the class action is based on Article 186, Alinea 3 of the Consumers Protection Act (which implements Article 3, subparagraph a) of the Injunctions Directive).
