Trends and Developments in Collective Redress and Class Actions

Competition | 22/01/2026

Our Group Actions and Competition team are delighted to have authored the ‘Trends and Developments’ section of Chambers & Partners’ Collective Redress & Class Actions 2025 Global Practice Guide.

As the collective proceedings regime in the UK remains in a state of flux with the outcome of the government’s consultation to be determined, we provide an overview of some of the recent key trends shaping the regime’s trajectory.

We address:

  • The contrasting decisions on excessive pricing claims in Le Patourel and Kent
  • Take-up of collective settlements and damages awards
  • The Tribunal’s supervisory jurisdiction, in relation to distribution of stakeholder entitlements
  • Certification and carriage disputes, and the implications of the Tribunal’s judgment in Riefa 
  • The state of the funding market and the ongoing shadow cast by PACCAR
  • Beyond the CAT: developments in representative actions under CPR r.19.8, including the courts’ application of the same interest test, and attempted use of the bifurcated procedure posited in Lloyd v Google.
