Claimant must disclose identity of third party funder to facilitate security for costs application (Commercial Court)

In Wall v The Royal Bank of Scotland plc [2016] EWHC 2460 (Comm), the court considered whether it had power under CPR 25.14(2) to order a claimant to disclose the name and address of any third party funding the litigation in return for a share of the proceeds (so as to facilitate a defendant's application for security for costs against that funder). The court also considered whether the exercise of any such power would breach the claimant's right to private life under Article 8(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
