No win No fee

[EternalOptimist]

I sort of heard a bit about this on the radio, the other day. There is to be some sort of shake up

now I hate the compensation culture, and being stopped in the street by people asking me if I'm deaf or had an industrial accident and wheres there's blame there's a claim,

but there are two sides to every argument, does anyone think the current set up is a good one ?

I hate ... being stopped in the street by people asking me if I'm deaf or had an industrial accident

Do you think you look like you've been mangled, is that why they target you?

Half the pakistani taxi-drivers in Oldham and Rochdale will be rioting in the streets!

I tripped on a pavement slab yesterday, but luckily I didn't fall. Instead I did an impression of Limpford Christie exiting the starting blocks ,but not as elegantly and without exposing my lunch box. How much do I get?

It depends, were you black to begin with?

"No win no fee" is a hair's breath away from Champerty, which has always been frowned on in English common law, for good reasons.

On a serious note, I do think the idea that you can get representation without being rich is a very good one.

Nope, the comparison with Christie was only in the speed of forward projection imparted on me as a result of unexpected contact with an immovable paving slab. Setting off from a starting block is like that I think, you have to fall to the ground violently but miss.

It was meant to be funny. Oh well

FTR, I believe throwing yourself at the ground and missing is called flying - think that's a Sir Terry Pratchett construct but don't ask him as he's probably forgotten.
