The growth of class actions: what’s next?


Our regular series of updates on the world of class actions and mass claims.

The last decade has seen a rapid rise in the popularity of class actions, and they now form a significant part of the legal landscape.

In our regular series of updates on the world of class actions and mass claims, we take a look at some of the key areas of focus, including environmental claims, securities, and competition litigation in the UK and other jurisdictions.

Our November edition considers how to resolve mass torts, a question that occupies the minds of all modern commercial litigators. We focus in on the FCA’s redress scheme powers, resolving collective actions in the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and insight from the United States for settlement practice and possible indications for how settlement practice may evolve in the UK.
