In this article, Fabio De Dominicis explores the evolution of Italian class actions from their introduction in 2010 to the major reforms of 2019 and 2023, including the implementation of the Representative Actions Directive (RAD). He also reflects on Europe’s growing trend toward stronger collective redress mechanisms.

Italy implemented Directive (EU) 2020/1828 through Legislative Decree No. 28 of 10 March 2023, introducing a new regime of representative actions for the protection of collective consumer interests. The reform aligns Italian law with the Representative Actions Directive and reshapes the procedural framework for collective redress. The analysis by Fabio De Dominicis examines the key features of the new system.
