There is total support for getting this done’ – funders and litigators react to King’s Speech litigation funding snub
Legal Business spoke to Ned Beale, our Co-Head of the Commercial Disputes Team, following the government’s decision not to include the Litigation Funding Bill as part of this year’s King’s Speech.
Legal Business also spoke to other leading figures in the legal and funding world like Susan Dunn, founder of Harbour Litigation Funding; Natasha Harrison, Managing Partner at Pallas Partners and Sophie Lamb KC, Global International Arbitration Group Co-Chair at Latham & Watkins, among others. Ned argues that it should be a priority to develop the system further to minimise satellite litigation and support claimants effectively and hopes that the government picks the Civil Justice Council Report on litigation funding, set for Summer 2025, quickly to put in place new legislation.
