The Shape of Things to Come: The Changing Class Actions Landscape and the New Privacy Tort [2026]

Hernan Pintos-Lopez (Greenway Chambers) and Rodrigo Pintos-Lopez (List A Barristers) will discuss recent developments in class actions, with a particular focus on:

1. How the class actions landscape is changing;
2. Recent High Court authority in relation to class closure; and
3. Whether the new statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy might lead to new class actions, particularly in relation to cybercrime and mass data breaches.
