The event examines recently introduced collective redress mechanisms in France and across the EU and provides an update on overseas developments. It addresses the legal and practical implications of cross-border collective actions involving global classes; assesses which jurisdictions are best suited for particular types of mass claims; and analyses the enforceability of collective actions and settlements.
