ECIPE study “The Impact of Increased Mass Litigation in Europe”

Mass litigation is on the rise across Europe and is reshaping the legal and economic landscape, with significant implications for businesses and consumers.

A new study developed by ECIPE and commissioned by EJF, “The Impact of Increased Mass Litigation in Europe”, examines how this trend is evolving and its potential economic consequences. It also presents policy recommendations aimed at ensuring fairness and balance in collective actions. For the first time, the macro-economic implications of mass claims were also reviewed.

As policymakers in Brussels shape the future regulatory framework, understanding these risks is essential to striking the right balance between consumer protection and economic competitiveness.
