Litigation Funding Post PACCAR – What has happened since the decision and what happens next?

Highlights

The world of litigation funding is shaped by landmark decisions like the Supreme Court’s unexpected PACCAR ruling. This webinar looks at the post-PACCAR world, examining developments in case law since the decision and offering insights into what lies ahead for funders and disputes practitioners.

Discussion points:

  • What happens next?
  • What is being proposed to reverse PACCAR?
  • What will happen if the decision is not reversed

Led by Asserson, accompanied by 4 New Square and Balance Legal Capital, join us for an insightful discussion as we navigate the post-PACCAR landscape.

This webinar is part 1 of a 3-part series covering UK Supreme Court rulings/decisions, and discussing the recent highlights and takeaway practices.
