The Reform of Class and Representative Actions in European Legal Systems by Christopher Hodges
This book examines the principal trends and policy goals relating to collective redress mechanisms in Europe.
..this is a great book, carefully researched and well written. It deserves to be read from all those interested and working in the field of collective redress, politicians, lawyers and academics, from the first till the last page. [Christopher Hodges] provides for new insights and the rich material on which the proposal is based, comprehensive empirical evidence and intensive reference of the European and US scholarly work, invites all those who have a clear cut answer to the burning issue of 'private collective litigation' in mind to reconsider his or her position. The most inspiring and thought provoking book invites to push the debate even further and to raise questions that need to be investigated. Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz Common Market Law Review Volume 46 Issue 1 The books wide analysis goes beyond the narrow limits as to whether opt-in or opt out is the right approach in mass civil actions...the author goes beyond analysing symptoms of the problem to the deeper analysis of what the best approach to achieving justice should be...To fail to protect collective victims is not an option. The need is for practical solutions working together: this book is an significant start to that debate. John Peysner Civil Justice Quarterly Vol 28, Issue 2 ...the material tracing the development of remedies across Europe is comprehensive and very useful for comparative purposes...The value of this book is that it sets out to test the utility rather than the structure of available solutions and accordingly makes a valuable contribution to the debate set in motion..by the Commission. Mark Mildred Modern Law Review 2009 All in all, this information-packed and stimulating work from an acknowledged expert in the field constitutes a major contribution to current debates Ken Oliphant Yearbook of European Tort Law 2009 With his factual approach, Christopher Hodges goes beyond an over-idealized debate on collective redress mechanisms. This book is essential reading for anyone dealing with this issue, and wishing to get a deeper insight into the topic. Professor Dietmar Baetge Zeitschrift Fur Europaisches Privatrecht March 2010
