Abstract

This article argues that Uber’s revised terms of service, which require litigants to disclose litigation-funding agreements and waive confidentiality protections, could undermine access to justice. Although the provisions are likely unenforceable, they may deter funders from supporting meritorious claims, thereby reducing corporate accountability and weakening plaintiffs’ ability to pursue litigation.
