The Collective Cast 26 - Foregone consumer surplus: Can priced out consumers claim damages?
Can consumers priced out of a market as a result of anticompetitive conduct bring a claim to compensate for that loss? That was the subject of the recent strike‑out application in Consumers' Association v Apple Inc, a collective claim concerning Apple’s iCloud storage service including on behalf of consumers who did not in fact purchase iCloud storage. In our latest Collective Cast episode, Michael Zymler is joined by partners Luke Streatfeild and Daniel Hunt to explore the concept of a claim for such “foregone consumer surplus” and examine the Tribunal’s split decision on whether this novel head of loss can proceed to trial.

Litigation For The Greater Good
Most people assume justice is available if you have been wronged. The harder truth is that many of the biggest harms are invisible, shared across millions, and too expensive to challenge alone. We explore how litigation for the greater good actually works when the defendants are well resourced, and the real losses sit inside things like pensions, consumer purchases, or communities harmed by environmental damage, and the defendants are well resourced.Hosted by Anna Gilbert, Divisional Director within Howden's Litigation Risk Management team, and joined by Hausfeld lawyers Lucy Pert and Simon Bishop, together they unpack the idea of “law as a force for good” beyond the usual soundbites. We talk through climate and human rights style claims, but also the less obvious cases that still protect society: emissions litigation, competition and consumer redress, and securities claims where misleading markets can affect huge groups of investors and everyday pension savers. Along the way we discuss how claimants are identified when they don’t even know they’ve suffered harm, and why collective actions and group litigation can be the only realistic route to accountability.We also get practical about the machinery that makes these cases possible. Third-party litigation funding, ATE insurance and newer own-side cost insurance can shift risk off balance sheets and open the door to fairer pricing and more options. We look at how regulators and private enforcement interact, why deterrence matters, and what might change next, from procedural reform for collective redress to the growing role of AI in securities disclosures and trading.
