However, the tide is changing; while there are now trends in the USA toward limiting or excluding class actions, notorious cases like Dieselgate are moving more and more European jurisdictions to extend the reach of their judicial collective redress mechanisms. For many new fans of class actions, collective redress has become a Holy Grail of sorts, a miraculous tool that will rejuvenate national systems of civil justice and grant them unprecedented power. Still, while the introduction of various forms of representative action has virtually become a fashion, it is anything but certain that attempting to transplant American-style class action will be successful. European judicial structures and legal culture(s) are fundamentally different, which poses a considerable challenge. This book investigates whether class actions in Europe are indeed a Holy Grail or just another wrong turn in the continuing pursuit of just and effective means of protecting the rights of citizens and businesses. It presents both positive and critical perspectives, supplemented by case studies on the latest collectivization trends in Europe--national civil justice systems. The book also shares the experiences of some non-European jurisdictions that have developed promising hybrid forms of collective redress, such as Canada, Brazil, China, and South Africa. In closing, a selection of topical international cases that raise interesting issues regarding the effectiveness of class actions in an international context are studied and discussed. 001437607 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 2, 2021). 001437607 650_0 $$aClass actions (Civil procedure)$$zEurope. 001437607 650_6 $$aActions collectives (Procédure civile)$$zEurope. 001437607 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437607 7001_ $$aUzelac, Alan,$$eeditor. 001437607 7001_ $$aVoet, Stefaan,$$eeditor. 001437607 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030730352$$z9783030730352$$w(OCoLC)1241732698 001437607 830_0 $$aIus gentium (Dordrecht, Netherlands) ;$$vv. 89.$$x1534-6781 001437607 852__ $$bebk 001437607 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-73036-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437607 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437607$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437607 980__ $$aBIB 001437607 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437607 982__ $$aEbook 001437607 983__ $$aOnline 001437607 994__ $$a92$$bISE
