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.
