No win no fee seems unlikely in a niche field like employment law.

If you want an employment lawyer that will charge a fee but is very good at what he does I'd recommend Oliver Weiss at Blake Morgan - PM me if you want contact details.

<pedant>NLUK doesn't advocate using the search function, merely to "do a search". The search function is crap, but Google (as recommended by NLUK) does the trick</pedant>

Speak to a no/win no fee lawyer.. if he is willing to take it on then you are going to win it so then go to a proper lawyer who's fees are likely to be lower....

I don't want to post up anything about my case in case the other side get wind of it. I am not using my real login - but one cannot be too careful.

Also, I posted a thread recently about debts when one dies. There was some great feedback - but some really rubbish stuff too.

Also have you checked ALL your insurance policies? A lot of insurance policies e.g. home insurance will have legal cover on them that cover you in situations like this.

I have applied for a random one online. If that does not work out I will look at that.

Will you marry me?

We won't know without the details. Maybe he's realised that he's posted a permie employment question on Contractor UK and has asked it again on Permie UK

This is another reason I did not want to post under my real login. I suppose that to get to the CUK gems one has to wade through alot of nonsense.

Why no win/no fee. You think you are not going to win? They will only take on cases they think they will win so it's not really a benefit to you.

I have no cash! Stoney broke!
