JACKSON COMPROMISE PROPOSALS

The Law Society, MASS and APIL have put forward a package to preserve but reduce the recoverability of additional liabilities.I had 45 minutes with Lord Justice Jackson on Thursday morning. Unsurprisingly , he thinks the proposal hopeless. No longer ought a claimant to be able to choose a method of funding which is more advantageous to his lawyers than an alternative.
