Chris Stackpoole (with Liam Hennessy) contributed to the 2018-2019 edition of the King and Wood Mallesons Australia Class Actions Review, authoring chapters on ‘Class Action Reform,’ ‘Litigation Funding,’ and ‘Common Fund Orders.’ In these chapters, he explores how courts are charting their own paths in managing competing class actions, the evolving issues surrounding contingency fees, and the regulation of litigation funding. These articles also examine the VLRC’s relaxation of the ‘costs follow the event’ rule, along with trends in litigation funding, common fund orders, and the role of contradictors.
