Class Actions: Capital, Regulation and the Public Interest

09/07/2021

This event is being held jointly by the Law Council of Australia and the Academy Class actions have been the subject of recent attention by Parliaments, the executive, law reform commissions and the courts, including two recent decisions of the High Court.

Much of this attention has focussed on the way class actions are funded, and the consequences of funding being available. Significant differences of view may be emerging as to how the public interest is best advanced when it comes to regulating class actions themselves, and the means by which the capital necessary to conduct them is made available. This seminar aims to take a deeper look at these issues.
