SUMMARY:Data breach and privacy: are class actions delivering effective r
 emedies?
DESCRIPTION:Large data and privacy breaches involving millions of individ
 uals from multiple countries are becoming a far more common global pheno
 mena. Data claims by individuals are expensive and\, relative to the dam
 ages likely to be awarded\, unaffordable on an individual basis\, so cla
 ss actions of whatever description appear to be the best mechanisms to b
 ring big tech companies to account\, and to give data subjects the possi
 bility of some redress. However\, courts around the world are grappling 
 with the difficult question of how to give individuals access to an effe
 ctive judicial remedy\, including what damages to award\, if any. This s
 ession will look at these issues in several leading countries and see ho
 w courts and governments are trying to get the balance right between the
  big tech companies and individuals rights.
