Should third-party funding be regulated? If so, how and by whom? This is just one of many thorny questions likely to occupy the minds of litigation lawyers in the year ahead, David Greene, NLJ consultant editor and senior partner at Edwin Coe, writes in this week’s issue.

Lawyers will also be keeping a close eye on any developments affecting collective actions, as well as the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and other technology on civil disputes.

Greene writes: ‘One thing the Post Office scandal taught us is the danger of data inequality, that data can be manipulated but presented to the court as fact and the historic tendency for courts to accept that fact as a given. The requirements for judges to have a questioning mind is only heightened by AI which may reflect and amplify underlying biases.’
