Ius Omnibus—Ongoing Popular Actions in Portugal

This document presents the active popular actions initiated by Ius Omnibus, a Portuguese non-profit association founded in March 2020 to defend European Union consumers.

The report provides an overview of ongoing collective proceedings filed before Portuguese courts, particularly in the fields of competition law, consumer protection, and environmental compliance. These cases involve major companies such as EDP, Daimler/Mercedes, FCA/Stellantis, Mastercard, Super Bock, Apple, Comcast/Universal, Meliá, and ANT.

The actions seek compensation for consumers harmed by anticompetitive practices, environmental violations, misleading advertising, and abuse of dominant positions. The document highlights the growing use of popular actions (ação popular) in Portugal as a mechanism for collective redress and cross-border consumer protection within the European Union.
