Green pass: a class action lawsuit open to Europeans

The health pass: a Europe-wide issue

Due to the need to be numerous, a petition preceded the European collective action. From 50,000 signatures onwards, a request for production of documents will be filed by the legal team with the European Commission free of charge.

If this amicable phase is rejected, the petitioners who wish to do so can join the collective legal action. The cost of the legal action is then shared between the thousands of citizens who freely decide to participate, for a fee starting at around 20 euros per participant.

A first act of transparency required: vaccine evaluation data

The European health pass is based on the efficacy and safety of Covid-19 vaccines. Initially, the collective action aims to get the European Medicines Agency to publish the evaluation data for the four vaccines. In fact, given the weakness of the preliminary studies, the Agency has only validated these vaccines provisionally, on the basis of a conditional marketing authorisation.

Transparency on the "health pass": a citizen counter-power

For Christophe Lèguevaques and Arnaud Durand, lawyers at the Paris Bar and initiators of the Dejavu.legal project: "Faced with high economic stakes, transparency is required to restore trust and guarantee individual freedoms [3]."
