In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, Jerome Doraisamy is
joined by Herbert Smith Freehills partner, Jason Betts.
Earlier this year, the Australian Law Reform Commission submitted
its report on class action proceedings to federal parliament.
Titled, "Integrity, Fairness and Efficiency - Class Action
Proceedings and Third-Party Litigation Funders", the report
considered whether and to what extent class actions and litigation
funders should be subject to regulation, and how adequate current
regulation is. Jerome and Jason discuss the report's findings and
recommendations from the perspective of defendants, with Jason
leaning on his and his firm's experience representing defendants in
such proceedings.
