| Abstract: | The article is based on a study which aimed at examining the existence and use of group actions in consumer issues in the Baltic states. It was a part of a larger research project examining the same questions in all Central and Eastern European countries. An overview of substantive consumer protection legislation in the Baltic states is the starting point for this study. The main finding is that many substantive law elements of consumers' collective interests are as yet not regulated at all in the Baltic states, or are not regulated in a sufficiently detailed way. The study showed that several kinds of group action exist in these countries ( Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). The article concludes with some recommendations as to how the Baltic states could develop their consumer protection legislation. |
