“The law now looks favourably on funding arrangements that offer access to justice so long as any tendency to abuse of process is controlled... the present litigation attracts the principle that ‘Public policy now recognises that it is desirable, in order to facilitate access to justice, that third parties should provide assistance designed to ensure that those who are involved in litigation have the benefit of legal representation”
Fostif Pty Ltd v Campbells Cash & Carry Pty Ltd [2005] NSWCA 83, per Mason P (as his Honour then was), at [105], cited on appeal in the High Court at Campbells Cash and Carry Pty Ltd v Fostif Pty Ltd (2006) 229 CLR 386 at [65], per Gummow, Hayne, and Crennan JJ.
“What the rule of law should promote is access to the courts for all members of the community where they have a grievance that the law recognises as arguable”
Knowles v Commonwealth of Australia (No 2) [2022] FCA 1003, per Mortimer J (as her Honour then was), at [39]
“There is a strong public interest in affected persons being able to test the legal validity of such a step without facing financial ruin or at least severe hardship if the challenge fails. To so hold serves the rule of law”
Kassam v Hazzard; Henry v Hazzard (No 2) [2021] NSWSC 1599, Beech-Jones CJ at common law (as his Honour then was), at [11]

What is public interest law?

Public interest law is any law to advocate for marginalised individuals or groups, or to address matters of broad public concern. Article Two accepts campaigns that would improve our community without persecuting already marginalised communities.

Article Two funds anything legal, including white papers, law reform advocacy, drafting bills, prospects advice, or litigation. Human rights, climate, economic justice, regulatory clarity, healthy competition: there is no limit on public interest.

Why are your called Article Two?

Article 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights guarantees:

  1. non-discrimination on any status;
  2. guarantees of legislation and policy to give effect to the rights in the ICCPR; and
  3. right to an effective remedy from a competent court. 

These are the purposes of Article Two.
