Class Actions Committee
(Lead)
Description
Not all legal systems are created equal and the various jurisdictions have adopted profoundly different strategies for providing protection to consumers. In particular, specialised legislation to protect consumers is less prevalent in lower-income countries. Within this session, speakers from multiple jurisdictions will discuss the manner in which legislation has been implemented within their regions and the extent to which these systems have been effective or require improvement, especially with regards to the consequences of misrepresentations in the market place.
