Abstract: England and Wales have rules on managing multiple similar claims (the Group Litigation Order) and particular representative procedures for consumer protection cases and for competition cases. The competition procedure permits representative damages claims and reforms may introduce damages more widely. But the most interesting feature is the development of oversight of collective compensation by public regulatory authorities and alternative dispute resolution or voluntary mechanisms.
