[Resumen] El presente artículo es una introducción a las demandas colectivas de los EE. UU. bajo la Regla 23 de las Reglas Federales de Procedimiento Civil. Las demandas colectivas han sido una parte integral del sistema judicial de los EE. UU. durante décadas. Este artículo describe tanto los beneficios de este recurso como las principales críticas al mismo. Se presta especial atención a las cláusulas de arbitraje preceptivo preestablecidas y a la validez de las renuncias a ejercitar demandas colectivas. Todo ello es analizado desde una perspectiva práctica basada en casos reales que ilustran las tendencias reales de los Tribunales de Justicia estadounidenses. Finalmente, incluye un breve análisis de las demandas colectivas en España para proporcionar al lector una visión general de este recurso procesal, tanto bajo la perspectiva de la legislación de los Estados Unidos como de la UE
[Abstract] This paper is an introduction to the U.S. class action lawsuits under the Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Class actions lawsuits have been an integral part of the U.S. judicial system for many decades. This paper outlines both the benefits of this remedy and the main criticisms of it. It pays special attention to pre-default, contractual mandatory arbitration clauses and the validity of class action waivers. All this is viewed from a practical perspective based on real cases that illustrate the actual trends of the American Courts of Justice. Finally, it includes a brief analysis of the Spanish class actions to provide the reader with a general overview of this procedural device both under US and EU law perspective.
