Class actions in Argentina – recent cases linked to private health plans

Argentina doesn’t have any particular legislation related to class actions, although isolated clauses in the Consumer Act and the Environment Act refer to them. In spite of this, Argentina is flooded with class actions, especially focused on consumer law matters. Businesses in many sectors have been sued, such as banks, credit card issuers, retailers, supermarkets, insurance companies, airlines companies, health companies and so on. As a consequence of the absence of particular legislation that guides class actions, the Supreme Court of Justice urged the Argentinian parliament to legislate for an adequate process to give certainty to the parties participating in them.
