Collective Redress Database
Systemic and transformative change happens when impacted people take collective action and collaborate with others to build power to challenge the root of their oppression. In this section of the digiRISE project, our research maps collective redress mechanisms which can facilitate collective action for the protection of EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in the digital sphere through strategic litigation across EU Member States. We track collective redress mechanisms, practices, and case law starting from before the attempt at harmonisation and following the implementation of the EU Representative Actions Directive in different EU Member States comparing their current state of transposition and enforcement, especially vis-à-vis digital rights collective redress cases.
This research is the result of a collaboration between the Digital Freedom Fund and the Observatory of Class Actions.
