What are the possible consequences? Is the question you must ask yourself if you are asked to assist in the funding of court proceedings.

It is clear that your contribution may be at risk if the party you assist loses their case, but what you may not realise is that you may be ordered to pay additional costs.

If you are a director of a company or as relative or friend you give money to assist in the funding of litigation, you may be made the subject of a third party costs order at the conclusion of the case. If you find yourself in this position you should seek advice as to your possible liability.
