SPRINGERBRIEFS IN LAW COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN E...

This open access book offers an analytical presentation of how Europe has created its own
version of collective actions. In the last three decades  Europe has seen a remarkable
proliferation of collective action legislation  making class actions the most successful export
product of the American legal scholarship. While its spread has been surrounded by distrust and
suspiciousness  today more than half of the EU Member States have introduced collective actions
for damages and from those who did  more than half chose  to some extent  the opt-out
system.This book demonstrates why collective actions have been felt needed from the perspective
of access to justice and effectiveness of law  the European debate and the deep layers of the
European reaction and resistance  revealing how the Copernican turn of class actions questions
the fundamentals of the European thinking about market and public interest. Using a
transsystemic presentation of the European national models  it analyzes the way collective
actions were accommodated with the European regulatory environment  the novel and peculiar
regulatory questions they had to address and how and why they work differently on this side of
the Atlantic.
