Abstract: Whether with regard to mass torts, civil-rights claims, or as a means of private enforcement of antitrust and other regulatory policies, collective redress of civil claims has been gaining in importance in Europe, as well as worldwide. Long associated with the US model of class actions, an increasing number of EU Member States have made their own attempts at collective redress institutions. At the same time, the amendment of the Brussels I Regulation has shied away from dealing with the cross-border aspects of collective redress. In this book, a worldwide group of distinguished experts - from private international law, civil procedure, and regulatory law - evaluate the problems of cross-border collective redress and provide proposals for a "European way," appropriate for the 21st century (Texto de la contracubierta)
