Class actions have steadily grown in popularity since the introduction of the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) Act 2018. This workshop will be led by leading practitioners in class action litigation, who will share their best practice advice to help you master the procedural elements of class action proceedings.

We will also look at the future of class actions in Scotland, considering the proposed reforms to bring in a procedure for ‘opt-out’ proceedings. We will consider how opt-out proceedings work in other jurisdictions, and hence, what we might be able to expect in Scotland.

Learning outcomes:

  • Develop your understanding of the entire process from start-to-finish and improve your advocacy in this area

  • Learn more about the funding landscape and your options in class action litigation

  • Gain practical insights to improve your drafting, case management, and working with other teams

  • Broaden your knowledge of opt-out proceedings in other jurisdictions and prepare yourself for the future of class actions in Scotland
