SUMMARY:Collective redress in Europe: coordination or conflict with inter
 national class actions
DESCRIPTION:Now that the European Union has announced its 'new deal for c
 onsumers' that introduces a European collective redress right that allow
 s for both injunctive and compensatory relief\, separate collective redr
 ess actions and class actions can be pursued simultaneously in Europe an
 d elsewhere in the world seeking the same or similar relief against comm
 on defendants for alleged wrongdoing. It is important to consider how th
 ese experiences are\, and in the future will be\, affecting such issues 
 as whether opt-in or opt-out models will prevail\, what is the proper fo
 rum and applicable law to resolve such disputes and how and where cross-
 border recognition and enforcement can be successfully implemented.  The
  Litigation Committee and the Consumer Litigation Committee are joining 
 forces in Rome to address these issues. A panel of experts from across t
 he globe\, on both sides\, claimant and defendant\, will lead an interac
 tive discussion on how the legal markets are reacting to these developme
 nts and what further measures should be considered to address the fears 
 of those potentially exposed to class actions and/or collective redress 
 claims\, all while providing guidance to proper access to justice. Litig
 ators\, corporate counsel\, judges\, academics\, consumer association re
 presentatives and policy-makers can profit from attending this session\,
  which will focus not only on discussing the current state of play but a
 lso future developments.
