Answer
It is likely that a claim of this nature will fall within the category of a multi-party action. You should contact the Law Society's Multi-party Action Information Service which is maintained by the Practice Advice Service (PAS). PAS holds a database of multi-party actions along with information about contemplated actions and participating firms.
Firms are invited to contact the Multi-party Action Information Service with information about current or contemplated actions. Once a group litigation order has been made, the Multi-party Action Information Service is reliant on firms supplying a copy of the order to the Law Society as stated in Practice Direction 19B, para 11 of the Civil Procedure Rules.
