Co-President Martyn Day comments on the Civil Justice Council review of litigation funding, welcoming the review as a tool to increase access to justice for individuals.
“The CJC review will be the first attempt for more than two decades to consider the role, purpose, and effectiveness of the arrangements around third party litigation funding in the UK.”
“At CORLA we welcome the review and will be making the case for third party funding to be embedded into the civil litigation landscape. We will encourage the review to carefully consider the pitfalls of ‘over regulating’ the sector and the inherent dangers of artificially limiting the remuneration available to funders. At CORLA we believe expanding access to justice through the availability of funding is in the interests of everyone, save for the corporate behemoths. Collective actions are a proven tool for achieving just that.”
Martyn’s comments were published in Legal Futures and New Law Journal, 24 April 2024.
