The Merricks case is perceived to have lowered the bar for certification of collective actions. Several other high-profile claims are already going through the Courts and a slew of further claims is widely anticipated. 

ThoughtLeaders4 and BRG invite you to join us on the 8th of June for the first in a series of discussions on the latest developments in the UK class action regime. This event will bring together lawyers acting for both claimants and defendants on some of the leading claims, together with economic experts, class representatives and funders.

Topics for discussion include:

• What should be the objective of the regime?
• What are the big issues which remain unresolved after Merricks?
• How is the CAT approaching questions of suitability and commonality in recent claims?
• What new risks has the new regime created for business? 
• The next chapter: how does the regime need to develop from here?
