In this podcast, we explore class actions procedures and trends in Australia, and what similarities and differences there are with England and Wales. The episode is hosted by Rachel Lidgate, a partner in our disputes team in London. She is joined by two disputes partners in our Australian offices who have extensive experience of dealing with class action litigation, Jason Betts and Aoife Xuereb.
