Magomedov & Ors v TPG Group Holdings (SBS), LP & Ors [2025] EWHC 1996 (Comm) (03 July 2025)

It is just and proportionate to order disclosure of the Claimants' litigation funding arrangements to the Defendants, given the real prospect of further substantial costs being recoverable and the need for Defendants to consider non-party costs orders, with confidentiality protected by a confidentiality club due to the sensitive nature of the information and risk of harm to funders.
