In a landmark investigation, 'The Price of Justice' reveals a systemic imbalance within Australia's class action system, where victims of corporate wrongdoing often find themselves at the mercy of a profit-driven industry. At the heart of the issue are litigation funders, who provide the necessary capital for individuals and groups to pursue legal action against corporations. However, these funders typically take a significant cut—sometimes as high as 30 percent—of the settlement, leaving little for the actual victims. The investigation highlights the case of Indigenous Australians who were historically exploited, with many never receiving the full compensation they were promised. The story of Minnie, a member of the Fitzroy Crossing community, illustrates the deep scars left by past injustices and the ongoing struggle for redress. Legal experts and advocates argue that the current system is not only unbalanced but also lacks adequate regulation. Litigation funders, often based in overseas tax havens, operate with minimal oversight, raising concerns about transparency and accountability. The lack of regulation has allowed these entities to capitalize on the legal system, often at the expense of the very people they are supposed to help. The political landscape is also fraught with tension. The Morrison government attempted to impose caps on legal fees and funder commissions, but these efforts were met with resistance from the Labor Party, which has strong ties to plaintiff law firms. This has left the system in a precarious position, where the interests of profit often take precedence over justice. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the time has come for a fundamental shift in how class actions are funded and regulated. The call for a publicly funded, not-for-profit entity to take over the role currently played by commercial funders is gaining momentum. This alternative model could ensure that victims receive a fairer share of any settlement, while also reducing the overall transaction costs associated with litigation. 'The Price of Justice' is not just a story about the past; it is a wake-up call for the future. It underscores the need for a system that prioritizes the public interest over profit, ensuring that justice is not only served but also accessible to all.
