Abstract. In the present
paper author deals with issues of collective redress mechanisms in general and
explains different forms of such mechanisms, its function and purpose. Author
also provides answers to specific question of collective redress mechanisms such
as opt-in or opt-out principle, conditions of eligibility of entities to bring
collective action, protection of good reputation of defendant, information to
the public about collective redress action and certification of collective
lawsuit. In The Slovak Republic it is considering about adoption of legislation
that will regulate collective redress mechanism in comprehensive manner, whereas
as present in The Slovak Republic it does not exist compensatory collective
redress. Because of possible abusing of collective actions author proposes an
appropriate system for The Slovak Republic.
Key words: collective
redress mechanism, collective action, opt-in principle, opt-out principle,
