‘The legal and economic foundations of “class action”-style competition claims are being tested with increased vigour in the UK. The evidence for this view lies in how the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and appeal courts have scrutinised whether claims, settlements and funding arrangements are proportionate, workable and aligned with class members’ interests in a raft of recent competition collective proceedings. That trend is now unfolding alongside a new UK government consultation on making opt-out collective actions, regulatory appeals and competition enforcement “swifter and simpler”.’
