Description
It is an interesting time to consider class and collective action litigation around the world. The developments taking place before the incidence of the COVID-19 pandemic were already compelling, but the pandemic and its implications create new areas of relevance and risk for practitioners and businesses in many countries around the world.
There have been important developments in the legislative sphere. For example, the European Union has traditionally been wary of collective redress but its imminent Directive on the matter represents a significant change in direction. It can be anticipated that other governments may consider similar adjustments, particularly as they perceive advantages in private sector litigation supporting public sector objectives in a cash-strapped environment.
