LCM | High Court refuses to hear GPC’s challenge to enforceability of funder’s class action agreements

In a decision that has significant implications for the Australian litigation funding industry, Piper Alderman partners Greg Whyte and Lillian Rizio have successfully defended a challenge to the validity of LCM’s funding arrangements in the Gladstone Fisheries class action. The High Court refused to hear Gladstone Ports Corporation’s appeal, preserving the Court of Appeal’s finding that the funding agreement could not be challenged on public policy grounds.
