This book critically examines the framework of consumer collective redress within EU law, with a particular focus on Poland, where such measures have operated since 2009.

Through examining Poland's 15 years of experience, this serves as a comprehensive case study, offering valuable insights and lessons. In exploring whether collective redress mechanisms can ensure effective enforcement of consumer rights while also guaranteeing a high level of legal protection, it investigates the mechanism of representative actions as a potential tool. The structure of this book is divided into three fundamental parts. The first part explores the nature of collective redress from the perspective of EU law. Secondly, the book addresses the various legal mechanisms operating in the Member States and in the UK that serve consumers as means of collective redress. Then, the final chapter focuses on Poland, discussing the legislative framework and functioning of group proceedings in practice. The book offers specific solutions for the further development of collective redress in the EU.

This book will be of interest to researchers focused on EU consumer law, collective redress, class actions, and law enforcement more broadly. It will be relevant to consumers, attorneys, and consumer organizations aiming to bring representative actions in one of the EU Member States.
