“Chasseurs d’ambulances” – Class Actions in Europe
Despite its tongue-in-cheek headline, this Economist article provides a useful update on class actions in France in particular, and Europe in general. The article confirms the logical is happening – as US courts push back and resist becoming the world’s courts, other nations are stepping in and facilitating class actions. And, as it also mentions, other countries are more pragmatic and facilitate litigation funding, which is both needed and logical despite the protests of the US Chamber of Commerce and its various arms and advocates.
