The aim of this study is to consider proper ways and means for consumers who are not expected to exercise their own rights from a cost-effectiveness perspective to participate in the proceedings of collective litigation in Japan. As a result of reviewing the consumer class actions in the United States and a new law for consumer collective litigation in Japan, the necessity was found out to provide for consumers enough information regarding the proceedings, based on which consumers monitor the proceedings regularly and make decisions on exercising their rights.

本研究的目的是从成本效益的角度考虑，为不希望行使自身权利的消费者参与日本的集体诉讼程序提供适当的方法和途径。通过对美国消费者集体诉讼和日本消费者集体诉讼新法律的审查，发现有必要向消费者提供有关诉讼的足够信息，消费者据此定期监督诉讼并就行使其权利作出决定。
