At the inaugural LF Dealmakers Europe Conference, Neil Purslow, Therium’s Chief Investment Officer joined James Hartley from Freeths, the lawyer who represented the sub-postmasters in the civil litigation against the Post Office, to give the keynote address on the future of litigation funding in the wake of the Post Office Horizon scandal. It has been called “the standout session of the two days” by Litigation Finance Journal.


During the keynote, Neil and James discussed the importance of litigation funding in providing access to justice for the sub-postmasters and James emphasised that “without Therium’s funding [the case] would not have gone anywhere, it would not have even got off the ground”.


Both Neil and James also highlighted problems around the lack of recoverability for funding costs.
