Class and Group Actions

The globalisation of business and the ability of plaintiffs to select different jurisdictions means class actions and collective redress are now a global phenomenon, giving rise to the need for a seamless domestic and international approach. This once predominantly U.S. issue is now a complex global concern encompassing countries throughout the world with their own systems of group and collective redress.
