In a recent decision by a state appeals court, a dispute involving a Houston-based law firm and a litigation financier continues to unfold painfully. The litigation financier alleges the firm failed to honour a debt exceeding $2 million. While the court has ruled that the law firm is not obligated to provide financial documents to the litigation funder, it affirmed the continuation of the underlying litigation.
The court’s ruling does not absolve the firm from the ongoing litigation surrounding the alleged unpaid debt, signalling yet another chapter in this protracted legal saga. The details of the case continue to surface and make heads turn in legal and corporate circles alike.
The original case was brought about by a litigation financier who claimed that the law firm in question had neglected to repay a loan of over two million dollars. Thursday’s ruling ensures that this dispute is far from over. For more detailed information, you can review the original case here.
