Introduction

Chaired by Ron Freeman of Lovells LLP and boasting an international panel of highly acclaimed experts, we will be hearing direct from the Commission about their latest proposals to create parity amongst EU nations pursuing cross-border disputes.
Our speakers will be on hand to help you answer the following key questions:

  • Should collective actions only be used as a last resort?
  • What is the impact of the Brussels Regulation on forum shopping between EU states?
  • Would a new class action mechanism allow the award of aggregate damages?
  • How would the introduction of contingency fees impact on the development of collective litigation?
