Giorgio Afferni, Managing Partner of Delex, was invited to participate to the Global Class Actions & Mass Torts Conference organized by Perfect Law between 23-24 May 2024 in London. Giorgio spoke about collective litigation for infringements of competition law in Italy, comparing the class action model with the assignment of claim model, focusing on the reasons for the weak attractiveness of the Italian class action for international investment funders and therefore on the superiority at least for the time being of the model of the assignment of claims. The panel was presided by professor Ianika Tzankova of the University of Tilburg, funding partner at Birkway. At the same panel participated judge Peter Roth of the High Court of England & Wales (Chancery Division), former President of the Competition Appeal Tribunal (UK), judge Gerhard Klumpe, Presiding judge at the Regional Court of Dortmund, Sam Marden, Director at Charles River Associates. Delex was sponsor of the Global Class Actions & Mass Torts Conference together with some of the most important global law firm specialized in class actions and mass torts, such as Milberg, Pomerantz, and Pogus Goodhead.
