Charlie Rooke and Craig Arnott host Lexology webcast
Charlie Rooke, Director and Craig Arnott, Chief Investment Officer – International at Burford Capital will host Lexology's upcoming webcast, “The CAT at ten: Collective actions and the future of competition litigation in the UK.” The session will take place on July 29 at 11:00am BST.
Ten years on from the introduction of the UK's opt-out collective proceedings regime, collective actions have become a major feature of the competition litigation landscape. As the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) enters its second decade, businesses, law firms and funders are navigating an increasingly mature and sophisticated regime.
This webinar will examine the evolution of collective proceedings over the last ten years and explore what the future holds for competition litigation in the UK.
The webcast will cover:
- How the CAT regime has evolved over the last decade and the key developments that have transformed collective proceedings from a legislative experiment into a significant feature of the UK litigation landscape.
- The latest trends in certification, case management and settlement approval, and how they are influencing both claimant and defendant strategy.
- What businesses should be learning from the growing volume of collective proceedings and how collective action risk should be incorporated into broader competition and litigation planning.
- The implications of the Government's review of the regime, including debates around efficiency, redress mechanisms and the potential expansion of collective actions beyond competition law.
- What the next ten years of collective proceedings could look like for businesses, law firms and the wider disputes market.
Whether you advise businesses facing collective action exposure or are involved in bringing and managing complex competition claims, this discussion will provide practical insight into one of the most important developments in UK litigation today.
Mr. Rooke and Mr. Arnott will be joined by Belinda Holloway (Hausfeld) and Patrick Teague (Geradin Partners).
