Class actions and major group litigation can be seismic events, not only for the parties involved, but also for whole industries and parts of society. That potential impact means class actions are one of the few types of claim that have become truly global in both importance and scope. The fifth edition of The Class Actions Law Review provides practitioners and clients with a concise overview of the relevant procedures, developments and factors in play in some of the world’s leading jurisdictions for class actions and group litigation.
Wynne Mok, disputes and investigations partner, and Ruby Chik, disputes and investigations associate, co-authored the Hong Kong chapter of the fifth edition of The Class Actions Law Review.
The preface and chapter were first published in The Class Actions Law Review, 5th edition (published April 2021). Reproduced with permission from Law Business Research Limited. © 2021 Law Business Research Limited.
