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.

W dniu 11 kwietnia 2018 roku Komisja Europejska przedstawiła propozycje legislacyjne jako realizację projektu pod hasłem „Nowy ład dla konsumentów”. Na pakiet legislacyjny Komisji składają się powiązane ze sobą projekty dwóch dyrektyw. Pierwsza zawiera uregulowania umożliwiające upoważnionym podmiotom reprezentującym zbiorowy interes konsumentów dochodzenie roszczeń w drodze powództw przedstawicielskich skierowanych przeciwko naruszeniom przepisów prawa Unii, w celu zapewnienia konsumentom narzędzi skutecznego wykonywania ich praw i uzyskiwania rekompensaty poniesionych szkód; druga wprowadza zmiany do czterech aktualnie obowiązujących dyrektyw konsumenckich. Oba wnioski Komisji są w trakcie procedowania, przy uwzględnieniu szerokich konsultacji społecznych. Czy propozycje Komisji oznaczają prawdziwy przełom, jak to sugeruje tytuł, pod którym są prezentowane, czy też należy je postrzegać jedynie jako kolejny krok w procesie tworzenia nowego ładu dla konsumentów?

On 11 April 2018, the European Commission presented legislative proposals as the implementation of the project under the title “A New Deal for Consumers”. The Commission’s legislative package consists of related proposals for two directives. The first contains provisions enabling authorized entities representing the collective consumer interest to pursue claims through representative actions against infringements of Union law, in order to ensure that consumers have the tools to effectively exercise their rights and obtain compensation for the damage suffered; the second introduces changes to the four currently applicable consumer directives. Both Commission proposals are under way, taking into account broad public consultation. Do the Commission’s proposals mean a real breakthrough, as suggested by the title under which they are presented, or should they be seen only as the next step in the process of creating a new order for consumers?

The article aims to compare and evaluate solutions with regard to compensatory collective redress existing in CEE countries. The author will attempt to illuminate obstacles and challenges to using collective redress as an avenue for antitrust enforcement in CEE countries, as well as possible advantages of the scrutinised legal frameworks. Besides focusing on national provisions, the article will draw on provisions of the Damages Directive and the Commission's Recommendation on collective redress mechanisms. It will open up the field for de lege ferenda proposals also.

La Commission européenne a présenté en avril 2018 une proposition de directive tant attendue sur les actions représentées, qui vise à moderniser le système européen de recours collectif en vigueur. L’objectif du présent article est de déterminer si les solutions proposées dans la proposition amélioreront le cadre des recours collectifs dans l’UE. A cette fin, l’article analyse le modèle existant de recours collectif des consommateurs dans l’UE, tel qu’il est défini par la directive 98/27/CE, la directive 2009/22/CE et la recommandation 2013/396/UE; il l’évalue également du point de vue de sa fonctionnalité en accordant une attention particulière aux questions problématiques essentielles. Dans ce contexte, l’article décrit les dispositions juridiques avancées dans la proposition de directive relative aux actions représentatives. La comparaison des deux structures juridiques permet de répondre à la question si la législation proposée peut remédier aux problems existants du système de recours collectif et, partant, si elle contribuera à renforcer le mécanisme de protection des intérêts collectifs des consommateurs dans l’UE.

In April 2018, the European Commission introduced a long awaited Proposal for a Directive on represented actions, which aims to modernize the existing European collective redress system. The aim of this paper is to answer the question whether the solutions put forward in this Proposal will improve the landscape of collective redress in the EU. For this purpose, I analyse the existing model of collective consumer redress in the EU, as set forth by Directive 98/27/EC, Directive 2009/22/ EC and Recommendation 2013/396/EU; I also evaluate it from the perspective of its functionality with special consideration of key problematic issues. Against this background, I present the legal provisions put forward in the Proposal for a Directive on representative actions. The comparison of both legal structures makes it possible to give an answer to the question whether the proposed legislation can remedy the existing problems of the collective redress system and, thus, to answer the question whether it will contribute to strengthening the mechanism for the protection of collective consumer interests in the EU.
