Timeline of Class Action Proceedings

Register your details with Class PR.

Class PR liaises with Levitt Robinson to select a Lead Applicant(s) to represent the rest of the group for the duration of the case. Solicitors choose the Lead Applicant based upon it featuring most, if not all, of the examples of BHJD’s failings.
Sign a funding agreement.
Once we have established enough interest in the action, we will officially commence proceedings and ask that you sign a funding agreement between you and a third-party litigation funder, who is footing the bill. This means you do not have to spend any of your own money to be involved and are protected from any liability for the other side’s costs.
In the event that the group wins, the funder is entitled to recover the legal costs, and to take a ‘funder’s premium’, usually 30%. The remaining 70% of the settlement money is divided between you and other group members. The amount you receive is calculated based upon your individual claims and/or particular losses.
In the event that the group loses, you are not liable to pay any money whatsoever towards the proceedings.
