Group Litigation in Scotland - Procedure, Practice & Recent Developments

Introduction

Since the introduction of group proceedings in the Court of Session over five years ago, group litigation has emerged as a key feature of the Scottish civil justice landscape. It enables the efficient determination of claims involving shared or similar issues, but also presents unique procedural, strategic, and risk related challenges for those involved.

This virtual classroom seminar delivers a practical and up-to-date guide to group litigation in Scotland, with a focus on the statutory regime, procedural requirements, and recent judicial developments.
