Access to Justice—Litigation Funding and Group Proceedings

Published on June 14, 2018

The VLRC report on litigation funding and class actions was tabled in Parliament in June 2018. The Access to Justice: Litigation Funding and Group Proceedings Report recommended changes to increase access to justice for class action litigants. This could be achieved by regulating litigation funding at a national level, lifting the ban on contingency fees and increasing the Victorian Supreme Court’s role in managing class actions.
