Group Proceedings in Scotland: will class actions change the litigation landscape

This session considers the likely impact and scope of the new Group Proceedings rules in Scotland – particularly for our institutions and major businesses.

Including:

• A practical overview of the new rules implementing Part 4 of the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act 2018.
• Will pent-up demand for class actions result in a tsunami of claims by consumers?
• We consider what organisations and businesses should be doing to prepare for the new litigation landscape.
