Nouveau régime de l’action de groupe

This is a French ordinary bill (proposition de loi) from the National Assembly, titled 'Nouveau régime de l'action de groupe', which translates as a new regime for class actions. Class actions allow a group of people who have suffered similar harm from the same party to bring a single legal claim together, rather than each filing separately. The bill appears to aim at reforming how such collective lawsuits work in France. This summary is based only on the procedure's metadata, not the full text of the bill. Consumers and other individuals who may join collective claims, as well as businesses and organisations that could face such actions, would likely be affected by changes to the rules. The precise scope of the changes cannot be determined from the metadata alone; the bill text would need to be consulted for details.
