What this session will cover
A discussion around the rising number of international class actions in the London courts, the economics of group claims, and what lies ahead for our clients.
We are witnessing a rapid rise in new forms of international claims against London-based defendants, targeting supply chains, foreign subsidiaries, investors and NGOs. The London Courts are showing an increased willingness to expand their jurisdiction to any part of the world where there is a connection to the UK, particularly where claimants may lack funding options in their own countries.
In this panel discussion, we will bring together a host of experts to discuss the current state of the law, the economics of group claims, and what lies ahead for our clients.
Bates Wells, Henderson Chambers
