The more I read about the Irish system and the massive ‘David v Goliath’ battles by individuals trying to get their legal dues, the more I think there needs to be a means for the average Joe/Jane to fight the ‘corporate institutions’ on a more even playing pitch.
I am wondering if Class Action/Group Litigation lawsuits are the answer? Why are they not permitted in Ireland ? Does anyone know the history ? Are they relevant in today’s global world ?
I am not just talking about the banks and the tracker scandal, but also PPI by card providers, VW emissions etc.
Why should institutions of the state such as Central Banks be tasked with legal matters? Surely this function belongs to the courts ?
Would this help or make things worse ? Would it help resolve the issue with redress that the Central Bank say they have no authority over? Would it push the banks to address the issues raised rather than dismiss them ?
Is it the best way to solve future issues like this and let the courts decide who is in the wrong ?
Answers on a postcard please ?
