The Cat’s Pyjamas
Navigating class actions and collective redress — the people, the cases and the operational reality behind them.
And no — it isn’t (only) about cats. Expect GLOs, mass tort, opt-in and opt-out class actions and every flavour of collective redress across the UK, EU and US, taken apart by people who actually run this stuff.
Smart, a little off the wall, and genuinely useful.
Collective redress is one of the most consequential — and quietly strange — corners of the law. Behind every group claim is a cast of funders, administrators, firms and claimants, and a lot of moving parts that never make the case report.
The Cat’s Pyjamas goes there: expert interviews, real cases and the practical mechanics of getting a group of people from harm to outcome. Serious insight, delivered like grown-ups who still enjoy their jobs.
- Fewer footnotes, more war stories — with the lessons intact.
- The operational side nobody podcasts about: participation, comms, administration, funding.
- Cross-Atlantic perspectives — UK, EU and US — because the machinery differs everywhere.
