Class actions are seeing a significant period of growth across the world. Recent legislative reforms, such as the EU’s Representative Actions Directive, are driving change and awareness of group litigation beyond the US and across Europe.

In the fourth episode, Jennifer Miles is joined by Lars van Amsterdam from our Amsterdam office to discuss how the Act on Collective Damages in Class Actions (WAMCA) is shaping the class action landscape in the Netherlands. You can see our guide to the position across 20 jurisdictions in the EU and UK here. 

Topics covered in this episode:

  • class action regime in the Netherlands
  • whether class actions proceed on an opt-in or opt-out basis
  • who decided the class action regime in the Netherlands?
  • current class action trends
