Group Litigations (class actions) Webinar

1 hour verifiable CPD

In 2020 Scotland introduced a new mechanism for the resolution of claims brought by groups of pursuers in the Court of Session, the group procedure rules. This reflects the introduction of so-called ‘collective redress’ models in many other jurisdictions across the world, some with very mature class action-style procedures, others also in their infancy including at EU level.

How does this new procedure operate, and is it working? In this session, Joanna Fulton of Burness Paull will examine how the new rules work, and discuss how it is going so far.
