Enhancing Efficiency for Class Certification and Evidence Gathering with Large Group Claims

Highlights

Led by BRG, your expert panel will discuss the use of surveys for large claimant groups in relation to collective actions. The panel will address a variety of topics including the position of surveys and their approach to class certification, how they identify the correct class, their status, and how they can be used to calculate damages. Panellists will also delve into case studies and share their practical experiences in these areas.

Topics include:

  • Whether surveys are a more stable approach to class certification
  • How surveys can help identify the correct class (i.e. commonality)
  • The status of surveys and sampling as evidence from a legal perspective
  • How surveys can be used to calculate damages
