Seema Kennedy\u2019s eagerly anticipated appearance at GCAS25 set off a clash over third-party funding perceptions, regulation and alternative redress options, while she staunchly rebuffed suggestions FCJ does not act in the best interests of consumers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair Civil Justice (FCJ) executive director Seema Kennedy has warned about the \u201copaque nature of litigation funding\u201d, calling for mandatory registration of funders and more alternative redress schemes for consumers. However, her strong views were opposed during a later panel at this year\u2019s Global Class Actions Symposium (GCAS), with Harbour Litigation Funding founder Susan Dunn stating that Kennedy\u2019s comments over the existence of \u201cegregious\u201d and speculative claims were \u201cnonsense\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debate around third-party funding<\/a> has become increasingly fractious, with those who think it is essential to access to justice battling those that believe it leads to frivolous litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need for safeguards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking yesterday (18 November) during a fireside chat with CDR <\/em>editor-in-chief Andrew Mizner at GCAS, hosted by Global Legal Group in London, Kennedy acknowledged that litigation funding has a role to play, but warned of its potential for harm. \u201cThere has been massive growth [in funding]. We are concerned about the opaque nature of funding, and some of the funders. There needs to be safeguards.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kennedy stressed the difference between consumer and business use of funding: \u201cSome of these egregious cases, they [involve] consumers that aren\u2019t very sophisticated and don\u2019t really understand what the role of the funder is. Compared to solicitors, funders don\u2019t have the same fiducial duty to the consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considerable questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kennedy argued that the opt-out regime is not having the intended impact. \u201cThere are considerable questions concerning certification, with the level set too low. The distribution rates [for damages] are woefully low. We want to see more transparency, mandatory registration [of funders] and a [funding] regulator that is answerable to parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She favoured alternatives, including voluntary redress or an ombudsman, which she believes could \u201creturn compensation to claimants a lot more quickly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing who owns FCJ, given its ties to the US Chamber of Commerce, Kennedy said the campaign group acts for consumers and small and big businesses who operate in the UK. Asked whether FCJ can act in the best interests of consumers when it represents and engages with businesses, Kennedy contended that businesses spend considerable time cultivating relationships with their customers. She quipped: \u201cAre you saying businesses don\u2019t like their customers? I suppose I believe in responsible consumerism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposing views<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking straight after Kennedy\u2019s appearance, Dunn noted that she and Kennedy \u201cagree on a lot of things\u201d, but rejected the comments about speculative claims as \u201cnonsense\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cIt is the lawyer that represents the clients. [Funders] protect the clients, [but] it is the lawyers running the cases, not us,\u201d adding that regulation is presented as \u201cthe solution to everything [but] first, you have to identify what harms you think are actually being caused by funder. A lot of [these issues] should be solved by lawyers running the case\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunn dismissed Kennedy\u2019s call for alternative redress, as an \u201cidyllic fairy world where redress schemes will sort everything out\u201d and wholly unrealistic: \u201cYes, I would love to live in a world there we don\u2019t need lawyers, but that is not the world we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the same panel, Miguel Sousa Ferro, managing partner at Portugal\u2019s Sousa Ferro & Associados, agreed that public enforcement will \u201cnever be the solution\u201d to group actions. \u201cThe ombudsman never files these cases. I would love for the ombudsman to do more cases, but it should only be an alternative, it will never be the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a separate but equally divisive topic, Dunn advised the parties in the ongoing battle between Walter Merricks and funder Innsworth<\/a>: \u201cDon\u2019t air your dirty laundry in public,\u201d adding: \u201cClearly there was a breakdown in love and communication in that relationship. But, someone set expectations about what the [Mastercard] claim was worth, which [turned out to be] very wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
