Jackson proposes sweeping reforms to cut litigation costs

As the first systematic funder of litigation in the UK, with a track record of investment outcomes established over 7 years and 52 claims, in the UK and US, we are dissatisfied with some of the major recommendations made and believe they will impact negatively on access to justice, particularly for claimants with smaller claims. Specifically: restriction of funders control, potentially inflexible capital restrictions, and the retention of champerty and maintenance.
