As the number of class actions continues to rise globally, this panel will examine the settlement process for group actions in three different jurisdictions – the US, Netherlands and the UK - and what lessons can be learned from experiences under those systems.
Topics to be covered will include:
• Settlement procedure
• Take-up rates
• Consumer awareness / interest
• Cross-border issues – e.g. extra-territorial scope of Dutch WCAM orders
• The role of litigation funders in settlement discussions
