COLLECTIVE ACTIONS

Enhancing access to justice and reconciling

multilayer interests?

This volume of essays draws together research on different types of col-

lective actions: group actions, representative actions, test case procedures,

derivative actions, and class actions. The main focus is on how these actions

can enhance access to justice and how to balance the interests of private

actors in protecting their rights with the interests of society as a whole.

Rather than focusing on collective actions only as a procedural device, the

contributors to this book also examine how these mechanisms relate to

their broader social context. Bringing together a wide range of scholarship

from the areas of competition, consumer, environmental, company, and

securities law, the book includes contributions from Asian, European, and

North American scholars and therefore expands the scope of the tradi-

tional European and/or American debate.
