In the aftermath of the UK Supreme Court’s PACCAR judgement, Ashurst’s Matt Pentecost and Anna Morfey explain what this means for litigation funding.
In this, the first episode of our specialty finance mini-series, we shed light on litigation funding as an asset class and the challenges presented by the UK Supreme Court’s PACCAR judgement.
Ashurst’s Matt Pentecost and Anna Morfey explain the details and significance of the PACCAR case, including the difference between opt-out and opt-in class actions and the broader application of the Competition Appeal Tribunal regime beyond traditional competition claims.
The duo discuss the market’s response, with some agreements being redrafted to make the damages-based elements severable. They reflect on anticipated legislative changes and how the current uncertainty could impact structured finance transactions.
This episode is a precursor to the DealCatalyst Specialist Lending Conference in London on 16 November, which will delve into specialist finance, including litigation funding.
