Benedict Mackenzie LLP views on litigation funding
The merits of litigation funding are presently a hot topic. Benedict Mackenzie have obtained such funding in deserving cases.
Benedict Mackenzie believe litigation funding can avoid injustice to claimants who have a strong case but do not have the means to bring the claim (a particular issue for liquidators seeking to achieve recovery for creditors). Litigation funding should not be confused with the US contingency model which has seen some notoriously frivolous claims reach court. To secure funding from a professional third party funder, a case must have a strong chance of winning. Claims without merit will not attract backing.
