The next wave of mass claims: future trends in group litigation

The mass claims landscape is evolving. Successes and failures in Group Litigation Orders, ‘same interest’, Competition Appeal Tribunal, and employment proceedings highlight opportunities, challenges and risks for claimants, funders and defendants involved in such matters.

Changes in politics and society, culture and values, and technology are examples of the forces that are having a profound impact on the way that mass claims are handled. It may be time to re-imagine how such cases could and should be brought and defended.

Our expert panel will consider the complex tactical, reputational, regulatory, and legal aspects of such cases. Looking at the future of mass claims through the life cycle of a dispute, please join this session to hear:

• Should we expect an increase in mass claims and which sectors are likely to be targeted next?

• How will groups form and what impacts will technology and funding have?

• What can we learn from developments in mass claims in other jurisdictions?

• What new strategies will be used by Claimants and Defendants?

• How will remediation schemes evolve?
