General Scheme of the Multi-Party Actions Bill 2017: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Eilis Barry:
I do not. The Bill is quite a modest proposal. It is more about case management. It is not providing for big class actions such as take place in the United States, where one has to opt out rather than opt in. This is very much an opt in proposal so I do not see it as a floodgates scenario.
