Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Labour’s win has left uncertainty around the future of litigation funding – a system where third-party companies finance lawsuits in return for a share of any settlement or damages. A proposed law to make these funding agreements enforceable was left unfinished when Parliament dissolved. Given its broad support, it is likely Labour will attempt to pass this law again, which would bring clarity and security to litigation funding. This change could make it easier for individuals and small businesses to pursue legal action without bearing the financial risk themselves.
