Ziyavudin Magomedov & Ors v TPG Group Holdings (SBS), LP & Ors

Given the opacity, inconsistency, and uncertainty surrounding the Claimants' litigation funding, and the real prospect of further costs being payable, it is just and proportionate to order disclosure of the Claimants' funders to enable Defendants to consider non-party costs orders. The confidentiality of such information justifies the imposition of a confidentiality club, which is necessary and proportionate in the circumstances.
