Not so long ago, class actions were considered to be a textbook example of American exceptionalism; many of their main features were assumed to be incompatible with the culture of the civil law world. However, the tide is changing; while there are now trends in the USA toward limiting or excluding class actions, notorious cases like Dieselgate are moving more and more European jurisdictions to extend the reach of their judicial collective redress mechanisms. For many new fans of class actions, collective redress has become a Holy Grail of sorts, a miraculous tool that will rejuvenate national systems of civil justice and grant them unprecedented power. Still, while the introduction of variou...
Written by leading authorities in the field of European civil procedure and collective redress, this timely book explores the model collective proceedings rules in the ELI/UNDROIT European Rules of Civil Procedure.

A função jurisdicional do Estado brasileiro, já há algum tempo, vem sendo questionada sob diversas perspectivas, especialmente em virtude da crise numérica que assola o Poder Judiciário nacional. A partir da análise da função judicial no Estado Democrático de Direito contemporâneo, a pesquisa expõe, inicialmente, os métodos de resolução de conflitos existentes, sob o prisma do direito pátrio e comparado, ressaltando o predomínio das soluções adjudicadas prestadas por meio do sistema judicial tradicional brasileiro, em nome de um exacerbado formalismo e da constante busca por uma suposta segurança jurídica. Todavia, com o passar do tempo, a crise do sistema judicial brasi...
Este livro cuida do direito de participação e do controle da representatividade adequada do legitimado ativo no âmbito da arbitragem coletiva, aqui considerada como meio adequado de solução de controvérsias envolvendo direitos transindividuais. Entretanto, pode-se dizer que, na verdade, o que se terá como pano de fundo nas linhas a seguir desenvolvidas são dois outros aspectos em especial: mudança e adaptação.
