The Czech Class Actions Act: a potential game-changer for consumer claims enforcement against businesses
The Czech Class Actions Act – Act No. 179/2024 Coll., on Collective Civil Proceedings (the "Act") – implementing the EU Directive on representative actions, came into effect on 1 July 2024. This long-awaited legislation enables collective enforcement of consumer claims against businesses, a mechanism that has been largely limited in the Czech Republic until now. This poses risks, especially for businesses with large consumer bases in sectors such as financial services, insurance, energy, telecommunications and transport.
