Book excerpt: In England 'multi-party' litigation can take various forms, of which the most important are (a) the opt-in system of Group Litigation Orders and (b) the opt-out system of Representative Proceedings. Category (b)n can yield damages to be distributed amongst the represented class, as recent case law shows. However, Group Litigation Order litigation is currently the main means of handling claims for compensation involving large groups of similarly affected 'victims'. Group Litigation Orders involve high levels of case management.

Download or read book A Comparative Examination of Multi Party Actions written by Joanne Blennerhassett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph addresses the phenomenon of mass harm and how it may be resolved through collective redress. It examines particularly how such redress may be achieved through mechanisms such as multi-party actions (MPAs). In order to do this, an analytical framework is created against which to evaluate various multi-party procedures. This is illustrated through the experience of a selection of common law jurisdictions in dealing with mass harm – namely that of England and Wales, Canada, Australia and the United States, as well as that of EU collective redress. It examines multi-party action laws benchmarked against the objectives identified in the analytical framework. The phenomenon of environmental mass harm in particular is explored as a case study, as it illustrates some of the difficulties that may arise in mass harm litigation. Also, this work explores where the best solutions for mass harm redress may lie in the future – perhaps in collective actions or through alternatives such as regulation and alternative dispute resolution or a combination of these. Finally, the experience of mass harm litigation in Ireland is examined, as currently this jurisdiction does not have an effective mechanism for dealing with mass harm.

Download or read book Multi Party Litigation and Third Party Funding of Litigation as a Response to Globalisation written by Michael James Boland and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-party litigation refers to different legal mechanisms that facilitate groups of litigants with similar causes of action to bring consolidated legal claims to court. The rise of collective action regimes around the world reflects a trend in civil litigation which offers an alternative to the traditional bilateral model of litigation. This article considers the forms of multi-party litigation available in Ireland, the U.K., and the U.S. It argues that in order to be successful, systems of multi-party litigation must be supported by effective systems of litigation funding. To that end, this article considers the extent to which third-party funding of litigation is available across these jurisdictions. Third-party funding of litigation is a growing phenomenon whereby a third-party with no connection to the litigants and no interest in the subject-matter of the case will fund the litigation often but not always in return for a nominal reward. The practice is permitted to varying degrees across the U.S. however its standing in Ireland and the U.K. is on shaky ground. That said, third-party funding is under review in Ireland having been considered by Ireland's Law Reform Commission in a 2016 Issues Paper (referred to throughout this article), by a Review Group on the Administration of Civil Justice in 2020 chaired by former President of the High Court, Mr. Justice Peter Kelly, and by the Company Law Review Group in a 2021 report on corporate liquidation and restructuring. As well as evaluating the forms of multi-party litigation and litigation funding across several jurisdictions, this article considers how effective systems of collective action can provide recourse to victims of corporate-related injury and abuse. In circumstances such as this, the traditional bilateral approach to litigation may be off-putting given the imbalance of power that often exists in such cases between the injured party and the multinational corporation. Multi-party litigation, on the other hand, offers strength in numbers. It turns "singular disputes" into "group struggles" and may therefore empower litigants to collectively hold large corporations or indeed state-run bodies to account.
