Collective Redress in Austria

Abstract

The Austrian Code of Civil Procedure does not contain special rules for collective redress, so traditional tools of multiparty practice such as joinder, consolidation, or, in certain cases, assignment or the appointment of a curator, had to be adapted for mass cases. In response to an increase in mass litigation, a draft of a group procedure was prepared by the Austrian Ministry of Justice in 2007, which provided for a new group proceeding for cases involving three or more claimants and a large number (probably more than fifty) claims and similar questions of law and fact. Any questions not resolved in the group proceeding have to be determined in individual lawsuits.
