Google is backing a bill by Representative Darrell Issa that mandates disclosure of who funds lawsuits, highlighting concerns over third-party litigation driving costs for companies and consumers.
Halimah DeLaine Prado, Google's general counsel, emphasized that excessive litigation, funded by third-party investors, increases costs for American companies and consumers, which is a growing concern.
The importance of this legislation lies in maintaining the integrity of the judicial system, as stated by the US Chamber of Commerce, which echoes the sentiments of large backers like Google.
Litigation financing can improve access to the justice system for those lacking the resources to pursue legal claims, but transparency regarding funding sources is necessary.
