Merricks v Mastercard [2019] est la première action examinée par la Cour d’appel du Royaume-Uni, dans le cadre du nouveau régime de procédure collective «opt-out» récemment mis au point en vertu du droit britannique de la concurrence. Cette action est importante tant pour le niveau des dommages (14 milliards de £; 16 milliards de €) que pour la clarification du test juridique au stade de la certification de l’aptitude à une indemnisation globale: la méthode de calcul du dommage et le caractère suffisant des preuves. L’abaissement de ces seuils par la Cour ouvre la voie à de futurs recours collectifs et réaffirme l’importance des procédures collectives en tant que moyen utile de réparation pour les infractions au droit de la concurrence. La décision a maintenant fait l’objet d’un appel devant la Cour suprême du Royaume-Uni, où ces questions peuvent être clarifiées et résolues.

Merricks v Mastercard [2019] is the first action under the newly developed ‘opt-out’ collective proceedings regime for aggregate damages under UK competition law to be considered by the UK Court of Appeal. It is significant for both the level of damages (£14 billion (€16 billion)) and the clarification of the legal test at the certification stage for the suitability for an aggregate award: the method for calculation of the aggregate damages and the sufficiency of evidence. The Court’s lowering of these thresholds importantly opens the door to future class actions and reasserts the importance of collective proceedings as a valuable means of redress for competition law infringements. The decision has now been appealed to the UK Supreme Court where these issues may be further clarified and resolved.

W artykule zaprezentowano Zalecenie Komisji dotyczące zbiorowego dochodzenia roszczeń przyjęte 11.06.2013 r. i ogłoszone w Dzienniku Urzędowym Unii Europejskiej 26.07.2013 r. Autorka podejmuje próbę wskazania potencjalnych trudności, jakie może napotkać polski ustawodawca w przypadku implementacji Zalecenia do polskiego systemu prawnego. W szczególności poruszane są kwestie dostosowania polskich przepisów prawa do zasad wynikających z Zalecenia w zakresie podstawowych pojęć, czynnej legitymacji procesowej i dopuszczalności powództw, a także finansowania powództw.

The main goal of this paper is to explain the current idea of the right of action in the context of class actions, with a specific focus on the proposed Collective Actions Act. The main aim is to assess how the proposed law applies to the plaintiff’s position and the group members, especially when it comes to protecting their procedural rights and the main purpose of collective proceedings. The first part of the paper defines the role of a participant, particularly their legal standing in the doctrine of civil procedure. The next part defines what class actions are. In the conclusion, the paper explains how the right of action is modified in collective action proceedings and how this right is exactly defined in the proposed Collective Actions Act.
