Group Actions

If you wish to speak with one of our specialist solicitors, in the strictest confidence, then please call 0870 055 2260 - alternately please complete our online enquiry form.

Group actions, also known as Multi-party actions, Class Actions and Group Litigation, are where a number of Claimants all bring an action against one Defendant, or sometimes a number of Defendants, in respect of a claim arising from a similar set of facts.

In Group Actions some of the issues will be the same for each Claimant, for example the issue of liability, and therefore group actions are a cost-effective way of running a number of claims because the issue of liability only needs to be considered once.

Group Actions (Multi Party Actions) are an exceptional and complex area of law. The practice has specialised in Group Actions since its creation in 2000, but the Principal of the firm has specialised in group actions since 1994.

They enable a group of individuals to bring claims, whether they arise out of an injury or other legal dispute, and to pool their resources and evidence when otherwise alone such claims would be faced with very real difficulty.

We provide the same level of service to all our clients even if you are part of a large group of Claimants or an individual.

The following are group actions which this firm, or its members, have dealt with;

Various Claimants – v – Care Concern International Limited (1) AXA Insurance (2) (2005)
Various Claimants – v – Leicestershire County Council (1996)
