united-states vaccination
How many people can legally contest a given mandate at the same time in the United States?
<p>How many people can legally contest a given mandate at the same time in the United States? A lot of companies intend to legally contest the vaccine mandate that was announced by Biden. I am wondering if judges are allowed to reject some legal contests if too many individuals are contesting it.</p>

<p>As many parties as have standing. The First Amendment protects the right to petition for redress of grievances, so any limitation on that right would be highly disfavored.</p>
<p>When there's a rush of cases like this, though, there are a few option for dealing with them. For instance, a plaintiff may seek class certification, permitting him to stand in for similarly situated parties so they don't need to litigate themselves, or a court may consolidate the cases if they are sufficiently similar.</p>
