As part of a series of programs covering class action laws in jurisdictions around the world, and to supplement content found in Jones Day’s recent publication, Class Actions Worldview: Part I—United States and the European Union, this edition of Jones Day Talks focuses on Class Actions in Spain – or as they’re known – Collective Actions.
Antonio Canales and Gonzalo Hierro, both based in Madrid, talk about the current Collective Actions landscape. They also discuss the Spanish Preliminary Draft Law, and share their thoughts on settlements, third-party funding, and more.
Although class actions have been common in the United States for decades, they have not been as widely used in the rest of the world. The situation and risks remain in flux, however, as more countries have renewed momentum to enact class actions or class action-like procedures.
The Firm is producing in-depth, multipart series of publications on class actions that will spotlight a wide array of jurisdictions worldwide.

In this podcast, also the first in a series, partners Ozan Akyurek and Becky Kcehowski discuss recent trends and developments in U.S. and UK class actions.
In AMG Capital Management v. FTC, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Federal Trade Commission Act does not allow the FTC to seek, from violators of the Act, “equitable monetary relief” in the form of restitution or disgorgement.
Jones Day partner David Morrell talks about how the Court’s decision could alter the FTC’s consumer-protection enforcement actions moving forward, the Justice Department’s newly prominent role in these matters, and what potentially affected parties should know.
The United States Supreme Court has delivered its decision in U.S. v. Arthrex, which determined whether appointments of administrative patent judges to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) were constitutional.
Jones Day’s Matt Johnson and John Evans talk about the background of the Arthrex case, how the decision could affect the way the PTAB operates, and the implications for parties with matters pending.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 9-0 in National Collegiate Athletic Associationv. Alston that the NCAA violated antitrust law by prohibiting member colleges from providing athletes with certain educational benefits. Specifically, the case dealt with the NCAA’s restrictions on providing athletes with non-cash, academic-related compensation, such as computers and internships.
Jones Day’s Chris Pace and Marc Weinroth discuss the Alston decision and its possible long-term implications for college sports.
The U.S. Supreme Court has heard oral arguments in NCAA v. Alston, a case that will determine the limits the NCAA can place on types of compensation received by college student-athletes.
Jones Day’s Chris Pace and Marc Weinroth discuss how the case found its way to the Supreme Court, the arguments that the NCAA and student-athletes made, and what this case could mean for the future of college athletics.
In the fourth installment in our series of programs on the private enforcement of competition law in European jurisdictions, Jones Day partners Mario Todino and Lamberto Schiona discuss how private enforcement has evolved in Italy in recent years, the types of actions available, recent precedents, and the advantages and disadvantages of legal action in Italy.
Private enforcement actions relating to antitrust matters has increased dramatically across Europe in recent years, both as follow-on damages claims in reaction to governmental enforcement actions, or as standalone competition claims pursued in litigation and arbitration by private parties. Jones Day partners Jürgen Beninca and Nicholas Cotter discuss what is behind the escalation in cases, including the effects of the European Union’s 2014 Damages Directive.
Signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Fair Pay to Play Act will allow college athletes in that state to accept payment for the use of their name, image, and likeness. In response, the NCAA has threatened to bar colleges from postseason tournaments if they allow players to profit under the new law’s provisions, and several athletic conferences have also voiced opposition. Still, a number of states are already considering legislation similar to that enacted in California.
In this Encore Presentation: JONES DAY TALKS® podcast on what has become known as the Alston or Jenkins case, a California district judge has issued a 104-page order in In re: NCAA Grant-in-Aid Cap Antitrust Litigation. The matter focused on NCAA rules that prohibit schools from offering certain forms of compensation to student-athletes. Jones Day’s Chris Pace and Marc Weinroth talk about the Alston decision and what it could mean for college sports programs.
