Access to Justice at Scale: The Evolving Role of Collective Actions in the UK
4 Jun 14:00 - 15:30
As collective actions become an increasingly prominent feature of the litigation landscape, understanding the regime and its implications has never been more important for advisors across all sectors. This talk provides a practical guide to bringing and defending collective actions before the UK courts, including the CAT, from certification requirements to funding considerations, while also examining the broader landscape of collective redress, including the Civil Justice Council’s report on litigation funding. Providing insight from both lawyers and Funders, the session sets out a balanced vision for how the UK's collective action framework can evolve to provide clarity, certainty and fairness for all parties, ensuring that the regime operates effectively and proportionately in an age of complex, large-scale disputes.
