1. There are no rational grounds – despite the location of Article 12 of the Act on Pursuing Claims in Group Proceedings – for differentiating between the requirements for a declaration of accession to a group of persons who join the group at the initial stage of the proceedings and persons who join the group only after the court’s decision to hear the case in group proceedings has become final. In both cases, on the basis of the information contained in the declaration of accession to the group, the court assesses whether a given person can obtain the status of a group member or not, and thus whether the requirements for such accession have been met. This assessment is made in terms of the existence of the subjective and objective prerequisites for group proceedings contained in Article 1 Sections 1 and 2 of the Act on Pursuing Claims in Group Proceedings.
