  • Understand the facts and key issues in the Emerald litigation;
  • Be aware of the impact of the recent US case of Morrison and what impact it’s likely to have on potential EU claimants;
  • Be aware of the arrival of Holland and Italy as potentially favourable forums in which to bring the group claims.
