France Developing Class Action laws
April 12, 2005I thought this was interesting given that the United States is moving in the opposite direction having just passed legislation limiting class action lawsuits and transferring most of them to Federal Court. In France the government is looking to improve consumer protection by passing class action legislation.
This recognizes that class actions have a place in protecting consumers from the power that corporations have.
