On September 14, a coalition of 214 companies and organizations sent a letter to Carolyn A. Dubay, Secretary of the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure at the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. The letter urges the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules to amend the federal rules to require disclosure of litigation funders.
The request targets the civil rules process, which governs how federal courts handle cases. The source does not detail the coalition's specific arguments, but the move signals growing pressure from the business community for greater transparency around third-party funding in litigation. The IPWatchdog report notes only that the letter was sent and the general ask; no further reasoning or timeline is provided.
