UK Class Action Regimes in Transition: What to Expect from Reform

The next webinar from our UK Initiative takes place on Tuesday, January 27th, at 11AM EST/4PM UK! Ten years after the Consumer Rights Act 2015 introduced opt-out collective proceedings for competition claims in the CAT, the UK Government has opened a review of the regime. While the review ranges across funding, scope, and certification, ADR and settlement, damages, and distribution, its core task is to assess whether the framework strikes the right balance: delivering access to collective redress and deterrence for consumers while providing procedural and cost certainty for defendants. Set against the regime’s original objectives - improved redress, effective deterrence, and safeguards against unmeritorious settlements - this webinar will examine where the system is working, where calibration may be needed, and what the reforms should be prioritize. Participants: Miroslava Marinova - GW Competition & Innovation Lab Professor Barry Rodger - University of Strathclyde Dr. Liza Lovdahl Gormsen  - Senior Research Fellow and the Director of the Competition Law Forum at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law Professor Sean Ennis - University of East Anglia Jason Shardlow - Wrest, Managing Associate, Linklaters
