The Representative Actions Directive goes live in 2023. It will alter the consumer redress landscape in the EU, introducing a new regime of collective actions for breaches of consumer rights legislation across a range of areas including data protection, product liability and financial services. Our panel will discuss what the Directive means for clients and lawyers defending mass harm litigation and will share insights from their experience of existing regimes in the US, Canada and UK.

On 28 September 2022, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a revised product liability directive. This proposal is another step to modernize European product liability laws. For the first time, software will be defined as a product and consequently the proposal also provides for liability for data loss. This proposal seeks to protect the interests of European consumers. This panel will discuss whether these changes are actually required and what manufactures will have to fear when placing products on the European market.
