Show Notes

For the past few years, plaintiffs’ lawyers and litigation funders have set their sights on bringing the worst parts of the US lawsuit system to countries like Australia, Korea, the EU, and the UK. This troubling trend is especially problematic in the United Kingdom, which is seeing a rapid increase in massive lawsuits against the business community.In this episode of Cause for Action, ILR President Harold Kim takes a virtual trip across the pond to discuss a recent and troubling UK Supreme Court decision that could open the litigation floodgates to US-style class actions in that country. Harold's guest is Kenny Henderson, one of the premier defense lawyers in the UK and throughout Europe.
