  • Fintech firm ordered to disclose source of funding in High Court champerty case Champerty · Co. Dublin

    QPQ Ltd, an Irish-registered fintech firm, brought proceedings in 2024 in the High Court in Dublin against Dutch national Geert Schute, alleging he breached a shareholder agreement by copying the firm's blockchain technology to develop a rival product. In a judgment in July 2026, Judge Michael Twomey ordered QPQ Ltd to disclose the source of its litigation funding, noting a public interest in determining whether the case was funded in contravention of Irish criminal law through champerty. QPQ Ltd asserts the funding comes from its parent company QPQ AG, while the judge noted messages suggesting there could be other third-party funders. Schute denies the claims, and the case is set to return to court the following week.
