In this latest edition of Ashurst's commercial litigation newsletter, we report on cases and developments of interest to those who handle commercial litigation. We also include a feature on the changes at the Competition Appeal Tribunal where, for the first time, collective actions will be able to be brought on an "opt-out" basis. It will be interesting to see how the new regime is used.
