The economics of class actions: ‘book building’, free riders, common fund orders and funding equalisation orders.
-
Money Max, 2016 – The Common Fund Order is born
The decision of Money Max Int Pty Ltd (Trustee) v QBE Insurance Group Limited (2016) meant that Common Fund Orders (CFOs) could be made at the beginning of proceedings under Federal Court of Australia Act (s 33ZF) and its State-based equivalents.
Common fund orders were a way for courts to ensure economic viability of class action lawsuits and require all group members to contribute to the litigation funder a percentage of their entitlement under any settlement or judgment, whether or not the group member had entered into a funding agreement with the funder.
-
Brewster, 2019 – The death of the Common Fund Order?
The High Court in Australia BMW Australia Ltd v Brewster; Westpac Banking Corporation v Lenthall [2019] HCA 45, 2019, held that common fund orders are not permissible under s 33ZF of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) (“FCA Act”) or its New South Wales equivalent, s 183 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW) (“CP Act”).
Consequently, absent any statutory intervention, common fund orders of this kind will no longer feature in the Australian class action landscape.

Consequences of Brewster, a return to a 2016, pre-Money Max environment.
Bookbuilding is back.
Bookbuilding is the practice of seeking to sign individual funding agreements with as many group members as possible (a process known as “book-building”). Group members are asked to sign a funding agreement which lists the percentage commission payable to the funder if the action succeeds.
Sufficient group participation is necessary to ensure economic viability of litigation funding as an investment proposition.

THE CLASS PR DIFFERENCE
When you engage Class PR, we can guarantee the following:
Professionalism is Paramount
Each Senior Account Manager comes from a Legal or Agency background (or both) and has an established network of media contacts.
Streamlined Customer Management
Centralised regular updates reduce the demand for in-house follow-ups; engender a sense of community amongst the group; and ensure that all court-ordered deadlines are met.

Smart Marketing
An empirical approach to marketing – statistical analysis of target audience’s online and offline behaviour to maximise ROI.
As external consultants, Class PR can bring a level of objectivity difficult to achieve in-house. Our fresh perspective and specialist insights deliver results.
Creative Campaign Strategies
We develop extensive and tailored campaign strategies that ensure we convey our client’s key messages, increase visibility and drive prospective clients, through various nuances in both traditional and non-traditional media platforms.
Digital Marketing – SEO & Social Media
Statistical analysis informs the selection of appropriate platforms.
Engagement is an iterative process – we make sure that your target audience sees the content you want them to see across all mediums.
Tailored Communication is Effective Communication
