In the US we have class actions (groups of aggrieved consumers). And States Attorney Generals who sue on behalf of the public.
The problem is most lawsuits end in plea deals, so it matters greatly who the specific litigants are, as they have to ability to agree to a compromise that affects everybody.
That’s why many conservatives (and only slightly fewer liberals) are “standing hawks” - people who think only folks with very specific harms should be part of lawsuit.
