Class actions are often related and associated to the American legal culture, as it is illustrated by several movies including the famous “Erin Brockovich” picture.

Although collective redress and class actions also exist in other jurisdictions in the world, notably in Europe, there are some differences arising from different legal and procedural cultures, especially between the Common Law and the Civil Law legal systems.

The purpose and the interest of this workshop will be, not only to identify such differences as well as the common points between the collective redress and class actions in various jurisdictions, but also to have practical tips and feed-back on experiences from lawyers used to such proceedings.

There will be also a particular focus on class actions in the anti-trust field, which is one of the main areas for such actions, as shown by the recent proposals from the EU Commission in order to encourage and regulate such actions.
