Litigation funding is a complicated beast. In this week’s NLJ, David Greene, senior partner, Edwin Coe, looks at the Litigation Funding Agreements (Enforceability) Bill

Primarily intended to reverse the chilling effect of PACCAR on third-party funding, the Bill is ‘short and sweet’, Greene writes. Regardless, ‘there are those vocally opposed to it and it has given rise to a more general debate about the regulation of third-party litigation funding’.

So, what does the future hold at home and abroad for litigation funding? Greene looks at the options and contrasts the approach at home with developments in jurisdictions overseas.
