Yeah, class action-style suits are probably coming, especially now that this ruling sets a precedent

AFAIK Germany (and most European countries) has civil law, so court rulings probably won't have as much of an impact as it would in countries like the US

  • > AFAIK Germany (and most European countries) has civil law

    Most of the world, actually. Pure common law systems are just in CANZUKUS (and a few dozen of other minuscule former British colonies).

  • Once it reaches the highest court, it will set precedent. So there is no real difference in the end it just takes more time because no precedent is set in a lower court.
