Summary

A legislative-initiative report on responsible private funding of litigation. The amendments concern third party litigation funding (TPLF), weighing it as a tool for access to justice and corporate accountability against risks where commercial funders pursue their own economic interest, and call for safeguards on transparency, fees, the share of awards, and protection of claimants.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
