I am just about set to head overseas to the Netherlands to attend the Fifth Annual Conference on the Globalization of Class Actions and Mass Litigation, which starts on Thursday, December 8. At last count, there were more than 150 registrants for this year’s conference, including yours truly and Andrew Trask of the blog ClassActionCountermeasures. [...]

The avid reader of CAB (maybe there are more than one of you now, but I don’t want to be presumptuous) will notice that I often comment on developments in class and collective actions outside the United States. If you really want to keep abreast of the exiting trends in representative and multi-party litigation around the [...]
Class Arbitration as a Global Class Action Forum? Supreme Court Says No.

The Supreme Court recently issued a decision addressing the issue of class arbitration. In Stolt-Nielson S.A. v. Animalfeeds International Corp., No. 08-1198 (April 27, 2010), an antitrust class action involving allegations of illegal price-fixing by international shipping companies, the Court held that an arbitration panel’s decision to force class arbitration was invalid because the arbitration agreement was silent about whether arbitration could proceed [...]

Science editor Mark Henderson has a story on the Times Online’s blog Eureka about what could be the largest representative action ever filed in the history of the world. The complaint, filed with the UN Human Rights Committee, seeks to save every inhabitant of the planet (and perhaps the entire solar system) from what could be imminent [...]

I promised myself that I would turn to more highbrow class action analysis after my Bigfoot manifesto over the weekend, but of course the most interesting legal news today was the case of the Knights Templar suing the Pope, so serious class action commentary will have to wait another day. Plus, I heard the story on NPR, so that makes it real [...]

I recently came across Stanford Law School’s Global Class Actions Exchange, a fantastic resource for anyone interested in trends in class, group, mass and other collective actions outside the U.S. The site offers a collection of papers presented by legal scholars from various countries on group action issues at a symposium held at Oxford University last December. It also provides a [...]
