Over the last several years English court decisions have broadened the use of aggregate litigation mechanisms, including Group Litigation Orders, which is leading to a rise in mass claimant litigation in the UK. This development brings group litigation in the UK closer to mass litigation in the United States. Recently, U.S.-based plaintiffs’ attorneys have entered the UK market, including some who are known for securing multi-million dollar verdicts. These U.S.-based lawyers have announced their goal of bringing U.S.-style aggregate litigation to English courts, which could cause a substantial change in the UK litigation climate.
Please join Dechert’s Product Liability and Mass Torts group, UK practitioners and guest speakers for a discussion of what has happened to date, what to expect and how to be one step ahead.
