Ethical, Procedural, and Policy Challenges
摘要
This chapter addresses the ethical, procedural, and policy challenges that accompany the growing use of third-party litigation funding (TPLF). While TPLF enhances access to justice and helps balance resource disparities between litigants, it also raises concerns over funder influence, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and transparency. The chapter explores how courts, regulators, and professional bodies grapple with these dilemmas, seeking to ensure that litigation funding serves the interests of justice rather than profit alone. By examining global perspectives, it identifies emerging standards aimed at maintaining fairness and public trust in funded litigation.
