The leading international legal journal on class actions, the Mass Claims Journal, published an article on the developments on admissibility in (public interest) class actions in the Netherlands written by three members of the Loyens & Loeff class actions team.
This week, the leading leading international legal journal on
class actions, the Mass Claims Journal, published a contribution by
Marit Bosselaar, Irene Bloemen and Peter Sprietsma from the class
actions team discussing the admissibility requirements applicable
to claimants in class actions in the Netherlands. Marit, Irene and
Peter delved deeper in the tailored rules in place for interest
organisations claiming to serve the public interest through class
actions and the developments in the application of those rules in
case law. In addition, they took a closer look at the public debate
in the Netherlands regarding the course of the future development
of the WAMCA system, especially in relation to ESG-matters.
