About this statute

This section says the law applies to consumer-versus-business disputes handled as collective actions within the Consumer Ombudsman’s competence, but not to disputes about procedures of a securities issuer or public takeover bid issuer. A case may be handled as a group action if several people have claims based on common or similar circumstances against the same defendant, the group-action procedure is appropriate, and the group is sufficiently precisely defined. Bestämmer vilka tingsrätter som är behöriga att handlägga grupptalan och hur den behöriga domstolen väljs. Konsumentombudsmannen may bring a class action as plaintiff and exercise standing in the case as a party. En stämningsansökan om grupptalan måste ange flera uppgifter, bifoga vissa uppgifter enligt rättegångsbalken och undertecknas av käranden eller den som upprättat den; den senare ska också ange sitt yrke och sin boningsort.
