The former general counsel of General Electric on Tuesday re-upped a call for transparency in cases where third-party funders take positions in federal litigation.

Former GE GC Brackett Denniston III, now the chairman of the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, wrote a letter to the committee at the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, which is considering proposed changes to federal discovery rules that would require a more fulsome disclosure of when third-party funders are involved in federal court.
