"Class, Collective, and Representative Actions: Overview for Foreign Practitioners (Australia)" is the latest guide from Thomson Reuters, drafted with the assistance of MinterEllison's class action specialists, Partners Beverley Newbold and David Taylor, and Senior Associates Rafael Aiolfi and Jacky Wong. This concise yet comprehensive chapter is a vital resource for international lawyers delving into the Australian class action space.

Class actions are now a global phenomenon, with companies in multiple jurisdictions facing this litigation threat. Australia is no different, with class actions continuing to grow in prominence and regularity. The Thomson Reuters guide provides practitioners and clients with a comprehensive reference point to uncover recent developments, source proven procedures, and understand the mix of influences at play in a number of jurisdictions. The guide covers a number of topics, including current trends, the regulatory framework, limitation periods, standing and the procedural framework for bringing an action, funding and costs, disclosure, damages and relief, settlement and appeals.

This guide is not just a roadmap but a strategic companion for international lawyers looking to navigate the Australian legal system's class action terrain.
