Challenges by clients to post-LASPO success fees have the potential to become a real thorn in the side of solicitors conducting cases on CFAs.
The judgment on the conjoined appeals in Hanley v JC & A Solicitors and Green v SGI Legal LLP [2018] EWHC 2095 (Civ) is therefore likely to prove a very useful authority, following the High Court's finding that an order for delivery up of documents belonging to the solicitors could not be made in the context of a contemplated solicitor-own client assessment.
A copy of the judgment is available here.
