Summary
Class-wide settlements of claims can be considered as one of the effective solutions for solving collective action problems in litigation on the one hand and maintaining court effectiveness for managing a large number of similar individual claims on the other hand. Since the late twentieth century, the Dutch legal system offers three collective redress mechanisms that can be attractive for resolving (international) mass claims disputes. Those procedures provide in exceptions of the general rule that no one has an action without an individual interest.
