Synopsis

Since conditional fees replaced legal aid as the main form of funding for personal injury cases on 1st April 2000, PI lawyers have been grappling with the complexities and the economic uncertainties of operating on a "no win, no fee" basis. The high-profile Court of Appeal decisions in Callery v Gray and Sarwar v Alam offer the first judicial guidance on the thorny issue of Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs). However, there remain many questions in relation to the proper and profitable use of CFAs. This guide provides an up-to-date and practical account of all aspects of CFAs following the important Court of Appeal decisions. An explanation of the legal framework in which CFAs operate is complemented by a host of pratical tools such as checklists, model letters, model CFA clauses and questionnaires.
