Objectives:
The topic of the article „On the Procedural Evolution of Consumer Interest Protection – from the Protection of Individual Rights to the Emergence of Commons ?” is an analysis of 25 years of development in the procedural consumer protection. The article posits that so intense development of procedural protection has not occurred with regard to other legal interests besides consumer interests. At the same time, it poses the rhetorical question of whether the development of procedural protection of consumer interests leads to the emergence of goods defined by the concept of commons. It points to particular types of consumer legal interests protected in collective proceedings. These are individual interests (subjective rights), group interests pursued in collective action, and collective interests that previously appeared in proceedings for recognizing contract terms as unfair, and now in a new type of collective proceeding, which is a result of the implementation of the Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2020 on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers and repealing Directive 2009/22/EC.

Results:
The thesis on the special protection of consumer procedural interests and the distinction between the protection of subjective right and the protection of group interests was proven
