2024 was another eventful year in the class actions space.

There were some important decisions, notable settlements and a reduction in the number of shareholder class actions, which has traditionally been quite dominant.

We have also seen a growing trend of class actions which focus on consumer protection, data breaches following cyber security incidents and employment. These shifts seem to reflect both regulatory changes and an increasing willingness amongst claimants to test new legal avenues for collective redress.

Reflecting on these developments, our class actions team have prepared a wrap up of the year that was and share their thoughts on what to expect in the year ahead. Read our wrap up below.
