No, not instead.
In addition to, sure.
Class action lawsuits as a primary counter action to damages?
... why not just ... stop the damages from happening?
If you have 50% of the shares, you have a controlling interest on the board.
You can significantly just tell the company what to do, what policies to have.
Going through through the courts to compensate the damage after the fact is massively more expensive and time consuming... its hitting someone with your car and they paying their medical bill 2 years later.
Why not just not hit them with the car?
Yeah that’s my point, actually.
