| Abstract: | While a number of European jurisdictions recently chose to introduce procedural mechanisms akin to U.S. securities class actions, a proper device for large-scale securities litigation under Swiss law does not yet exist. Given the substantial losses sustained in the course of the current financial crisis, this paper discusses the question whether there is a need to improve investors’ access to justice in Switzerland. In its analysis of various innovative approaches taken by lawmakers in other European civil law jurisdictions, the paper puts special emphasis on the 2005 German Capital Markets Test Case Act (KapMuG). |
