Class actions provide a mechanism for compensation to victims, addressing overlapping objectives in tort law amidst procedural challenges.
Despite aiding in victim compensation, class actions face significant barriers that hinder effective deterrence of tortfeasor wrongdoing.
In the context of Australia and New Zealand, the existing class action framework poses complications that may limit its potential efficacy.
This assessment encourages future research to enhance class action effectiveness or explore alternative remedial frameworks.
