In recent years collective litigation procedures have spread across
the globe, accompanied by hot controversy and normative debate. Yet
virtually nothing is known about how these procedures operate in
practice. Based on extensive documentary and interview research,
this volume presents the results of the first comparative
investigation of class actions and group litigation 'in action'.
Produced by a multinational team of legal scholars, this book spans
research from ten different countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia
and the Middle East, including common law and civil law
jurisdictions. The contributors conclude that to understand how
class actions work in practice, one needs to know the cultural
factors that shape claiming, the financial arrangements that enable
or impede litigation, and how political actors react when mass
claims erupt. Substantive law and procedural rules matter, but
culture, economics and politics matter at least as much. This book
will be of interest to students and scholars of law, business and
politics. It will also be of use to public policy makers looking to
respond to mass claims; financial analysts looking to understanding
the potential impact of new legal instruments; and global lawyers
who litigate transnationally. Contributors: A. Barroilhet, C.
