ABSTRACT
Chapter 2 discusses the private enforcement of consumer collective interests in the three European jurisdictions that are considered to be the most relevant in this field. It focuses on the various legal mechanisms that function in the Member States and the UK, serving the consumers as a means of collective redress. The main analysis focuses on the legal solutions adopted in Belgium, the Netherlands as well as England and Wales. It includes changes introduced to the national laws by the implementation of Directive 2020/1828 on Representative Actions. The goal of this chapter is to indicate how these mechanisms operate in practice and which solutions are worth reception on the grounds of Polish law by way of good practices.
