- This 464-page book is the culmination of 15 years of scholarship in class actions jurisprudence, examining the many ?roles? that government plays in class actions reform, design, funding, and litigation. As a comparative study across four jurisdictions, the book synthesises an enormous amount of primary and secondary sources. The book is multi-layered: It is a detailed legal analysis of governments? interaction with class actions law. It is also a law reform study, making numerous recommendations for class actions statutory drafting; and a social commentary on the importance of governments legislating transparently, even where their own interests may be compromised.
