Money & WorkFact

Nobody sues over 40 euros – forty thousand people might.

The EU Representative Actions Directive 2020/1828 lets qualified entities, usually consumer bodies, sue on behalf of many affected people: for injunctions and for redress such as damages, refunds or price reductions. It applies from 25 June 2023, including across borders.

Useful: Where individual suits never pay off, bundling is what makes the harm actionable at all.
