The relationship between class actions and government makes for a
nuanced and fascinating study. Government sets the scene by
implementing and designing the regime, by choosing whether to act
as a seed-funder for the regime, and by deciding to what extent it
should regulate the regime against worldwide classes being
litigated on its doorstep. It can then become a key player in the
litigation itself. Government may be a representative claimant
bringing the action, or a class member, or a potential financial
beneficiary. Most commonly of all, it may be a defendant, being
sued under the very regime which it enacted into law. With numerous
opt-out class action regimes around the common law world in place,
and others on the horizon, the book takes a comparative perspective
throughout, and concludes with a series of recommendations, drawn
from that comparative analysis of government's intricate interplay
with class actions.
