Law Commission explores new class actions regime for consumer ...
The Law Commission is exploring reforms to introduce or expand a class actions regime for consumer claims in England and Wales. The review is occurring alongside another review of the UK’s product liability regime under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
If adopted, a new class actions mechanism could make it easier for groups of consumers to bring claims related to defective products or misleading consumer-rights practices, increasing legal exposure for companies selling or marketing device protection services. It’s not specifically about AppleCare+ warranties or subscriptions, but changes to product liability/consumer-claims processes could indirectly affect how Apple and service providers handle claims, refunds, and disclosures (and potentially the legal risk profile tied to extended warranty offerings).
The Law Commission's review comes alongside its separate and ongoing review of the UK's product liability regime under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (CPA).
