The paper is focused on the legal regulation of collective proceedings in the Czech Republic in terms of EU legislation (Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and of the Council on representative actions for the protection of collective interests of consumers and repealing Directive 2009/22/EC) and national legislation of selected EU Member States. It analyses and compares selected institutes of the legislation on collective proceedings, in particular the subject of the collective claimant, the effectiveness of the law on collective proceedings, the model of class actions, or their financing. The paper also addresses the issue of cross-border class actions. In this context, the authors ask how cross-border class actions will be applicable, what impact the setting of the parameters of class action legislation in EU Member States will have on their filing, or what are the risks associated with their filing.
