Litigation Cost
Dear Department of Health,
I am undertaking an analysis of the impact of litigation of the public sector and would like to know:
• What did you spend on litigation (i.e. lawyer fees and awards) in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
• How many lawsuits did you settle in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
• How many lawsuits did you have brought against you in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
• How many of the lawsuits brought against you were funded by third party litigation funders (hedge funds and other private investors) in financial year 2008-2009 and financial year 2013-2014?
I’d be grateful if this could be provided in written format. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Tom
