In The Times, Chris Bogart, CEO @BurfordCapital, sets the record straight on litigation funding, arguing it is essential to holding corporations to account—and that calls for restrictions are misguided and could cost the UK economy billions. https://t.co/6JdKWli024

In @GlobalLegalPost, former CAT President Sir Gerald Barling argues the Government should not be persuaded by spurious interests to undermine the opt-out collective actions regime that protects consumers and small businesses, warning this would only benefit corporate wrongdoers.

Read ILFA’s response to the Department of Business and Trade’s review of class actions, warning that a review at this stage is premature but there are ways to nurture the regime to ensure it’s more effective. https://t.co/EtfTxtcLX5

In @FT today, law firms warn the Lord Chancellor that "investment is draining away from the UK legal system" as new data shows collective cases collapsing following the PACCAR ruling. @MoJGovUK must urgently legislate before cases dry up altogether.

In @TheLawyerMag, @Corla_UK co-president Martyn Day labels recent claims quantifying UK collective actions as "misleading", arguing figures don't account for consumer overlap or success in securing fair redress from corporate wrongdoers.

Worth reading in @TheLawyermag: Richard Smith of @RHANews shares the stark human cost of the Supreme Court's PACCAR ruling. @MoJGovUK must urgently act on the CJC's recommendation to reverse PACCAR "as soon as possible." https://t.co/2obMKidIra

ILFA welcomes yesterday's Civil Justice Council report urging immediate action to reverse PACCAR. The UK Government must act swiftly to restore certainty for the sector and ensure access to justice.

Interesting read in @lawsocgazette: AALF's John Walker shares cautionary lessons from Australia's TPLF regulation missteps. The UK must address PACCAR uncertainty or risk undermining access to justice while letting corporate wrongdoers off the hook.

The Kansas legislature has shown that a sensible solution can be reached. We hope Kansas can be a lesson for the Chamber of Commerce, the insurance industry and big tech that overbroad, mandatory disclosure proposals are a solution in search of a problem that does not exist.
