INCIDENT OF RESOLUTION OF REPETITIVE CLAIMS AND GROUP LITIGATION ORDER: HISTORICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS OF ADMISSIBILITY

Abstract

This paper deals with the Incident of Resolution of Repetitive Claims in the Brazilian order and the Group Litigation Order (GLO) in the British order as mechanisms for collective redress. Although the inspiration for the Incident of Resolution of Repetitive Claims was the German Musterverfahren, the analysis of the context in which the Brazilian and British instruments were created, as well as the admissibility requirements of each instrument, can contribute to improve collective redress.
