Why It’s Significant
This is the first opt-in Collective Proceedings Order (CPO) made by the CAT and also the first CPO made in favour of a non-consumer class.
Therium’s Solution
Therium supported the case from the outset, including the bookbuild effort required to pursue the case on an opt-in basis. As part of the RHA’s application, Therium’s arrangements for funding and adverse costs cover were scrutinised in detail by the CAT.
