Last month saw the introduction of radical changes to the way in which antitrust claims can be litigated in the United Kingdom. Most prominent of those is the introduction of opt-out class actions, which the U.K. has imported from the United States system, albeit with some significant changes.
Half a dozen years ago, private antitrust litigation in the European Union was a real rarity. Privacy actions are still nothing like as prevalent as they are in the United States, but they are growing in number, and the U.K. is by far the most popular venue. Change to the way in which antitrust claims can be brought in the U.K., therefore, has a wider significance and is relevant to wider E.U. claims environment.
