Abstract

How pre-trial discovery works in the Spanish, US and German legal systems and its comparative application in consumers’ Law is the subject matter of this research. In light of this compared analysis, proposals are made for the upcoming transposition in the Spanish legal system of Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2020 on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers and repealing Directive 2009/22/EC.
