Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will introduce legislation to reverse the effect of R (on the application of PACCAR Inc and others) v Competition Appeal Tribunal and others [2023] UKSC 28, as recommended in the Final Report of the Civil Justice Council's Review of Litigation Funding, published on 2 June.
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.
The Government welcomes the Civil Justice Council review of litigation funding, which will help inform the approach to potential reforms. We will outline next steps in due course.
