Summary
This chapter considers the various ‘prompters’ which have been evident from around the Comparator Jurisdictions, as to why an opt–out class action was implemented, in addition to (or sometimes in place of) the collective redress regimes which existed prior to its enactment. There has been a remarkable degree of uniformity amongst those reasons, or ‘motivators’, for class actions law reform. These experiences convey lessons for those jurisdictions which may be minded to implement similar reforms.
