The Economic Impact of Mass Litigation in Scotland

This report seeks to reassess earlier estimates of the economic impact of mass litigation and considers how appropriate they remain given developments in the CAT since 2015. In doing so, it revisits the assumptions underpinning the 2013 impact assessment produced by the former Department for Business, Innovation and Skills ((the “BIS Impact Assessment”), reviews more recent third-party studies and examines how far UK-wide evidence can be translated into a Scottish context.
