      abstract = {This book specifically covers issues regarding  jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of  judgments in cross-border mass disputes relating to  financial services. Collective redress mechanisms, legal  mechanisms which can be used to resolve mass disputes  collectively, are growing more important. Due to the global  increase in cross-border trade and financial transactions,  the number of cross-border mass disputes has increased. In  the EU, several prototypes of collective redress mechanism  exist that can be used to resolve mass disputes and, aside  from the EU’s recommendation on the drafting of laws  relating to collective redress, a reevaluation of the  Brussels Regulation has also taken place as on 10 January  2015 the Brussels I-bis Regulation replaced the old  Brussels Regulation dating from 2000. In spite of a minor  reference to collective redress in the Commission proposal,  Brussels I-bis does not contain any provision relating to  collective redress. As a result, many questions regarding  cross-border mass disputes and the relevant private  international law issues remain unanswered and unresolved.  This book sets out to describe the most important  prototypes by referring to actual collective redress  mechanisms. In addition, it also sets out how parties to  such mass disputes can confer jurisdiction to courts in the  EU and what the various pitfalls are. Moreover, the rules  concerning the recognition and enforcement of judgments  originating from a collective procedure are listed. As  cross-border collective redress mechanisms and the rules of  private international law to be used in such a context are  still being developed, the goals of private international  law and the goals of the referred collective redress  mechanisms are analysed to provide an insight into how  these sets of rules should and could be employed. This book  is primarily aimed at researchers, practitioners and  lawmakers actively involved in and/or professionally  interested in the field of private international law and  collective redress mechanisms and should prove very useful  in providing them with a greater in-depth understanding of  the issues at hand. Thijs Bosters is a law clerk at the  Dutch Supreme Court.
