Description
Opportunities for bringing class and collective action litigation continue to develop around the world. Most significantly, since the last edition of this Guide, the European Union has published its Directive on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers (Directive 2020/1828). The increased availability of third-party litigation funding continues to drive disputes activity around the world, including collective action litigation. Significant changes to the collective action landscape are being driven by competition claims, which can take advantage of arguably the most sophisticated regime for collective actions. There are a number of ongoing large group claims across a variety of industry sectors. It is an interesting time for practitioners in this space, who can expect continued growth in domestic and international collective actions for some time yet.
