SUMMARY:Product liability cases were anticipated to be the best examples 
 of class actions\, but do they really work to benefit consumers?  Do the
 y put money in consumers’ pockets?  Do they change manufacturers’ behavi
 our?
DESCRIPTION:Is there strength in numbers? From the era of Donoghue v Stev
 enson consumers have sought recourse against manufacturers for defective
  products. In more recent times\, consumers have increasingly sought to 
 join together to present a united front against manufacturers in the for
 m of class actions and collective redress. However\, more and more\, the
  actual benefits to consumers in acting collectively are being debated\,
  as well as whether such actions actually have an impact upon the approa
 ch that manufacturers adopt with respect to product safety. This session
  joins this debate and examines the actual benefits of collective redres
 s in providing compensation to claimants and improving products provided
  by manufacturers.
