ANOTHER JACKSON MYTH DISPELLED.

A story emerged last week which understandably frightened many practitioners. The gist of it was that Sir Rupert wanted recoverability to end in current cases if proceedings were not commenced by October this year ( 6 months after reform took effect).
I am happy to say that this is utter tosh. I have it from the man himself. Lord Justice Jackson fully appreciated that lawyers would enter into funding arrangements prior to the date the guillotine dropped. Ample notice was given for that very reason.
