In a watershed judgment handed down on 11th December 2020 the UK Supreme Court gave the go ahead for a £14 billion collective proceedings damages claim for breach of competition law against card issuer, Mastercard. This will be the largest class action to date in the UK.
The central issue was whether it was appropriate for the Courts to certify a collective proceedings action (and therefore allow it to procced to trial) where:
- the class representative was claiming an aggregate award on behalf of the entire class instead of damages for each individual class member; and
- each member of the class would receive a fixed sum from the aggregate award regardless of the potential loss they had each suffered during the infringement period.

2020 was surely a year like no other.
Yet despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a successful year for the global Palestinian rights movement. There were plenty of direct actions, court victories and significant calls to sanction Israel over its violations of international law.
This year saw achievements by activists, students, civil rights defenders and lawmakers to uphold the right to boycott Israel – even as lawmakers, Israel lobby groups and the Israeli government itself attempted to derail, smear, attack and imprison organizers.
“Despite its massive investment of financial, political, diplomatic, propaganda and intelligence resources in its war against the BDS movement, Israel has failed, as some of its own lobby groups today admit,” says the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC), the steering group for the Palestinian-led BDS campaign.
