‘Aggressive’ litigation funder Omni Bridgeway accused in UK fee fight

ASX-listed litigation funder Omni Bridgeway is gearing up for a major fight in Britain’s High Court after a client refused to pay a multimillion-pound bill, claiming the funding agreement was unenforceable in England.

Lawyers for the client, Bugsby Property LLC, said the action could have wide-ranging implications for the litigation funding industry in the UK, and accused the Perth-based Omni Bridgeway of “aggressive” behaviour.
