Milberg London, the firm behind some of the UK’s biggest collective actions, is warning ministers not to curb the regime just as it starts to deliver tangible results.
With the collective-actions landscape in England and Wales under increasing scrutiny, specialist disputes boutique Milberg London has urged the government to hold its nerve. In its response to the Department for Business and Trade’s (DBT) call for evidence as part of the investigation into opt-out collective proceedings, the firm says policymakers should look past lobby-led narratives and focus on outcomes, stressing that “the regime serves as an essential route to justice for UK consumers and UK businesses”.

As our submission highlights, nothing could be further from the truth.”
