Professor Rodrigo Olivares-Caminal, Of Counsel at Kepler-Karst Law Firm and a debt restructuring expert, jointly with Guido Demarco, Director of Legal Assets at Stonward Litigation Funding, have co-authored an article on the Oxford Business Law Blog examining recent developments in the litigation finance industry.
Focusing on a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, the authors delve into the interpretation of litigation funding agreements. The case, stemming from antitrust violations by five commercial vehicle manufacturers, resulted in a class action lawsuit seeking compensation for affected customers.
Prof. Olivares-Caminal and Demarco highlight the significance of private agreements between the parties involved in litigation funding. They analyse the potential for third-party challenges to these agreements, comparing civil law principles with those of common law. Ultimately, they explore how these dynamics could impact the stability of litigation funding agreements in the United Kingdom.
