Anti-trust and collective actions: 2023 in review

Ashurst Legal Outlook Podcast

Ashurst colleagues Anna Morfey, Tim West and Max Strasberg look back on a significant year in the world of anti-trust and collective actions, including issues stemming from certification, post-certification and case management. They also consider what’s in store for 2024.

In 2023, a lot happened in a short space of time in the class actions landscape. In this episode, Ashurst’s expert panel summarises the most notable changes, trends, and cases – and highlight issues to watch out for in 2024.

The podcast reflects on an action-packed year for the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), including significant developments in certification processes for class actions. The panel also discusses several cases stemming from post-certification issues and considers what this tells us about the CAT’s likely approach in future. And, of course, they cover the Supreme Court’s judgement in PACCAR, which was big news for the collective actions regime and litigation funding more broadly.
