The CORLA debate hosted as part of LIDW on Wednesday 4 June at 4pm titled ‘The Growth of Group Litigation and Funding in the British Courts – A Blessing or a Curse?’ will focus on The Civil Justice Council Review of Litigation Funding Final Report that was published yesterday.
Nicholas Bacon KC of 4 New Square Chambers will be chairing the event.
For the claimants: Patrick Green KC of Henderson Chambers, David Greene, Co-President of CORLA and Senior Partner at Edwin Coe LLP
For the defendants: Ronit Kreisberger KC of Monckton Chambers and Kenny Henderson of CMS.
David Greene, Co-President of CORLA, the UK’s Collective Redress Lawyers Association said: “We welcome the CJC’s recommendations which are a boon for access to justice in England and Wales and speak to the diligence and balance with which the committee conducted its review into litigation funding. Reversing PACCAR will finally put an end to the uncertainty that has hampered funders’ willingness to invest in important and meritorious cases. We urge the Government to take up the recommendation immediately. The proposed light touch regulation of funders is a much-preferred route in this very young market. The report is a fillip to access to justice and will help to ensure that London continues to remain a jurisdiction of choice.”
“We look forward to hosting a lively debate at our sell-out event that will be chaired by Nicholas Bacon KC.”
