Litigation, Costs, Funding and Behaviour: Implications for the Law

This collection examines the interaction of the relevant legal regime, regulatory framework and disciplinary rules with the behaviour of litigants, courts and legislatures. The book examines subjects such as cost rules, funding arrangements and their influence on the behaviour of litigants, courts and policymakers. The contributors include renowned scholars, each expert in their respective field and well versed in both civil procedure and the practice of litigation, arbitration and finance. Together, they guarantee a broad approach to the issues of costs, cost shifting rules and third party funding and how these impact on the proceedings, dynamics and strategies of litigants.
