Collective Claims

 In the ordinary unfold of the economic life, the unlawful conduct of businesses can frequently harm multiple entreprises. And yet, in the vast majority of this cases, the aggrieved businesses and individual do not manage to obtain redress for the damage suffered because they lack the economic strength and organizational capacity.

Legal claims against such misconducts are economically viable only if they are pursued in the form of group actions.

The high technicality of expert investigations and report required to prove the both effective occurrence of such harmful conducts and the damage stemming from them result in considerable costs for potential claimants (especially in the field of antitrust claims).  

This feature makes all claims of this kind economically unbearable for plaintiffs willing to bring individual claims, because the potential costs are disproportionate in relation to the damages sought. Conversely, if costs are divided amongst all the members of the aggrieved class, and if the plaintiffs enter into a funding agreement with a third party, the action becomes economically viable and the protection of the affected interests becomes efficacious and effective.

Therefore, to bring a successful claim in damages against a tortfeasor whose conduct has resulted in a pluri-offensive harm, all activities required to gather the claimants are of essence.

The complexity of all organizational activities is the first deterring factor for claimants willing to take such initiative. The management of all the necessary activities requires specific expertise and cutting-edge technologies.
