Over the past decade or so, plaintiffs’ lawyers and litigation funders have set their sights on bringing the worst parts of the U.S. lawsuit system to countries like Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the UK. This troubling trend is especially problematic in the UK, which is seeing a rapid increase in collective action lawsuits against businesses.
In this episode of Cause for Action, Scévole de Cazotte, ILR’s senior vice president of international initiatives, is joined by Kenny Henderson, one of the UK’s premier defense lawyers, to talk about troubling litigation trends and cases, including the UK Supreme Court’s decision in a £3bn data protection class action against Google.
