Summary
"The aim of this edited collection is to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the comprehensive class actions legislation that was introduced by Part IVA of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) by assembling a range of essays that would reflect on the origins on that law, assess the developments in its application over its 30-year history and predict what shape class action practice and law reform might take in both the near and more distant future." -- Preface.
