Jaguar Land Rover

While it was unfair for a judge to pick Gilbert + Tobin to run a class action against Jaguar Land Rover on the condition that it lower its funding rate, the judge was entitled to consider the law firm’s experience in a similar case against Toyota, an appeals court has said in its reasons. 

Maurice Blackburn looks set to appeal a decision booting its class action against Jaguar Land Rover in favour of a case by a rival law firm whose experience in a similar class action was the deciding factor in a carriage contest.
