Abstract
In the face of overburdened court systems dealing with mass disputes, legal mechanisms like Ukraine's model cases (Article 290 of the Civil Procedure Code) and the United States' class actions have emerged as pivotal solutions. In this article, we will explore the similarities and differences between these two approaches in addressing collective claims. Through a comparative and formal-dogmatic analysis, we will examine how Ukrainian model cases provide a streamlined process geared towards efficiency and costeffectiveness, while US class actions offer robust protections for numerous plaintiffs under a unified legal framework. By analyzing pertinent case law and procedural rules in both jurisdictions, we aim to highlight the strengths and challenges inherent in each system, ultimately proposing insights on how these mechanisms can evolve to better serve justice in an era of increasing legal complexity.
