Written Answers
Civil Proceedings: Legal Costs
Asked by: Andy Slaughter (Labour - Hammersmith and Chiswick)
Monday 9th February 2026

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he plans to implement proportionate regulation of third-party litigation funding agreements in this parliament.

Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

We have carefully considered the recommendations from the Civil Justice Council's review and, as well as seeking to mitigate the effects of the PACCAR judgment, we wanted to tighten up regulation of third-party litigation funding.

We intend to introduce legislation to implement proportionate regulation of Litigation Funding Agreements when Parliamentary time allows. The new regulatory framework will aim to enhance claimant protection, transparency and the effectiveness of the litigation funding market. The Government recognises the critical role third-party litigation funding plays in access to justice and is committed to ensuring it works fairly for all. We will outline next steps in due course.

Civil Proceedings: Legal Costs
Asked by: Andy Slaughter (Labour - Hammersmith and Chiswick)
Tuesday 10th February 2026

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will take legislative steps to reverse the effects of R (on the application of PACCAR Inc and others) v Competition Appeal Tribunal and provide for the changes to apply retrospectively.

Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

We intend to introduce legislation to clarify that Litigation Funding Agreements (LFAs) are not Damages-Based Agreements when Parliamentary time allows. This will mitigate the effect of the PACCAR judgment and improve access to justice by reassuring funders that LFAs can be used to fund cases. We intend to make this change with prospective effect.

The Government recognises the critical role third-party litigation funding plays in access to justice and is committed to ensuring it works fairly for all. We will outline next steps in due course.
