As the state has moved back to the centre of analysis of political change and conflict, increasing attention has focused on its rôle in forming new classes and in structuring the possibilities of class action. As Nelson Kasfir notes, both Marx and Weber ‘saw the vital role the state could play in consolidating the class position of a dominant social group’.1Neither, however, saw the state as the inherent locus of the process of class formation and of class domination. For Marx, the state was typically the instrument of a ruling class whose origin and basis was in control over the means of production. For Weber, power, class, and status were potentially independent dimensions of stratification.

Class Actions

This chapter delves into one of the strongest arguments in favour of the access to justice potential of class actions, which can be found in the rational choice theory of orthodox economics. It explains the economic access to justice framework that is based on the recognition that the class action allows the pursuit of claims that would not be pursued by rational actors. It also talks about how class actions allow the pursuit of negative value claims or claims in which the value of the claim is outweighed by the costs of its pursuit. The chapter elaborates how allowing for ideological representatives to advance claims on behalf of harmed groups can contribute towards preventing injustices by deterring misconduct by potential wrongdoers. It explores important issues pertaining to the economics of class actions that impact the access to justice and are achieved through mass litigation.

Proper Subject

More than twenty years ago, Lord Woolf MR recommended the implementation of a regime which could cater for opt-in or opt-out class actions. It was not until 1 October 2015 that such a regime was enacted—and solely for competition law grievances of either a follow-on or a stand-alone nature. A key aspect of any class action design is how to handle limitation periods for the representative claimant and for class members. In his seminal report, Lord Woolf flagged up that appropriate provisions for limitation periods would be a proper subject for primary, rather than secondary, legislation. Accordingly, limitation periods duly became the subject of careful drafting in the 2015 regime, courtesy of section 47E of the Competition Act 1998. This chapter reflects upon some of the key comparative drafting lessons of class action regimes elsewhere which were helpful and instructive for that drafting exercise.
