"​Professor Nagy takes an important and detailed look at class and collective redress both inside and outside the European Union, providing useful insights to lawyers and policymakers in multiple jurisdictions.  This text is a welcome addition to the literature on large-scale dispute resolution and should be required reading for scholars and practitioners around the world." Prof. S. I. Strong, Manley O. Hudson Professor of Law, University of Missouri"While many European jurisdictions have introduced some form of collective redress, most comparative academic studies focus on comparisons between legislative regimes. Class Actions in Europe is a refreshing compact analysis of the topic from a comparative, economic and trans-systemic perspective, focusing on key factors of the design of an effective collective redress regime. It is a must read for everyone who wants to obtain a better understanding of the European approach to collective claim resolution and of its economic implications and impediments."Prof. Ianika Tzankova, Professor of Law, Tilburg University
