At the annual conference of the International Bar Association in held in Madrid in October 2009, Laura K. Christa co-chaired a working session on “Coordinating the Chaos – a global update on mass claims: can litigation, arbitration and government remedies work together?”
She also spoke on the panel describing class action procedures in the US, highlighting class actions member firm Christa & Jackson has defended in California on behalf of a number of US corporations.
This was followed by European and South American speakers, including a representative of the EU, who described efforts being made in jurisdictions to capture some of the “group” action methods used in the US, to their own jurisdictions, in order to aid in promoting judicial efficiencies and fairness in the adjudication of smaller claims on a group wide basis.
