The Government recognises the critical role third-party litigation funding plays in ensuring access to justice.<\/p>

<\/p>

Following the PACCAR judgment, concerns have been raised about the need for greater regulation of Litigation Funding Agreements, or greater safeguards for claimants.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is keen to ensure access to justice in large-scale and expensive cases, whilst also setting up adequate safeguards to protect claimants from unfair terms.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Civil Justice Council is considering these questions and others in its review of third-party litigation funding, and hopes to report in summer 2025. The Government will take a more comprehensive view of any legislation to address issues in the round once that review is concluded.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3154", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-08-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-08-01T15:15:41.777Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Civil Proceedings: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to by reintroduce the Litigation Funding Agreements (Enforceability) Bill, originally introduced in the last Parliament, and if not, what steps they plan to take to mitigate the impact on third party litigation funding of the judgment in R (on the application of PACCAR Inc and others) v Competition Tribunal and others, [2023] UKSC 28.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4920", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Sandhurst"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Sandhurst"} ], "uin" : "HL449"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/350135", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/350135/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

This Government was elected with a mandate to reform and modernise the UK human rights framework. A Bill of Rights will protect fundamental human rights, but also prevent their abuse and restore some common sense to the system.

Our plans do not involve us leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. That is neither our objective nor our policy. However, our number one priority is to restore some balance to our human rights laws, so no option is off the table for the future.

We will consult fully before introducing legislation and will bring forward proposals for a British Bill of Rights in due course.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4183", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Faulks"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Faulks"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL448"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-25T17:03:45.733Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Bill of Rights"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government when they expect to bring forward proposals for a British Bill of Rights.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2758", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Falconer of Thoroton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Falconer of Thoroton"} ], "uin" : "HL449"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 2, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
