Asked by:
Sir Julian Smith (Conservative)

The Government recognises the critical role litigation funding plays in ensuring access to justice.

I have engaged with relevant stakeholders on the enforcement of third party litigation funding agreements and the wider market following the PACCAR judgment via my officials.

The Government is due to receive the Civil Justice Council’s (CJC) report on litigation funding in summer 2025, which will inform further decisions on policy and legislation. As part of their review, the CJC conducted a consultation with key stakeholders in relation to third party litigation funding.
