International litigation funder Milberg Ltd has been fined GBP 21,000 for allegedly mishandling GBP 3MM intended for a class action the firm was not involved in. Initially, the money was meant for a Milberg subsidiary, Ferguson Funding Limited, for a class-action suit against a car manufacturer in a scandal involving emissions.
In this week’s episode, we speak with Maurice Power about Ferguson Litigation Funding’s roots as an insolvency-based law firm, what the market is like for small to mid-size Commercial & Consumer claims in the UK, how he approaches educating lawyers and trustees about the benefits of litigation finance, and what life will be like after Brexit (assuming there is a Brexit). Hope you enjoy listening!
