Introduction

The Civil Justice Council (CJC) ‘Review of Litigation Funding - Final Report’ has now been produced in response to a request for advice from the Lord Chancellor, following the UK Supreme Court's decision in R (PACCAR) v Competition Appeal Tribunal.

The future of litigation funding hinges on this report, which was given priority over the introduction of the Litigation Funding Agreements (Enforceability) Bill 2024, which had been tabled urgently by the last government to reverse the decision in PACCAR, which essentially rendered all Litigation Funding Agreements unenforceable where they provided for a return based on a percentage.

The far-reaching report addresses the whole litigation funding landscape and will undoubtedly be the catalyst for wide reform, aiming to promote effective access to justice, fair and proportionate regulation of third-party litigation funding, and improvements to the provision and accessibility of other forms of litigation funding. This webinar will provide a user-friendly snap-shot of all the key takeaways from the report and prepare practitioners for what may be to come. Forewarned is forearmed!
