This session of the Banking and Finance Academy provided an overview of group litigation (class actions) in both England and Scotland, with a focus on the risks that potential group claims pose for banks and others in the financial services sector.
The webinar covered:
- the differences between the class action regimes in England and Scotland;
- trends in class actions against banks and other financial services companies, both in the UK and the US;
- what we see coming down the track – what types of claims might be brought in the future?; and
- how can banks and others in the financial services sector prepare for and respond to class actions?
