By Rachel Rothwell Verified| The Law Society Gazette Verified The litigation funding industry is fighting on several fronts. As the Gazette has reported, the battle is far from limited to the Civil Justice Council’s review of the sector, which may lead to unwelcome changes such as more onerous regulation, caps on funders’ returns and a new duty for parties to disclose the presence of funding. At least as concerning for funders is a key hearing looming in the Court of Appeal, due to be heard before the end of July.
