Summary/Abstract: Collective Claims Proceedings provide for the procedural option of claim protection of a collective interest. This option is introduced in the newly adopted Civil Procedure Code with effect from 01.03.2008. In comparison to the anglo-saxon legal system thecase law in Bulgaria is scanty. The article discusses the main issues that arise in the practice of application of the collective claims and that need to be addressed by the legislation de lege ferenda.
