Proceeding contribution from Lord Scott of Foscote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010.


Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010

I hope the Minister will forgive me for interrupting again. My understanding is that that recommendation did not limit the success fee; it simply suggested that that was the maximum that could be recovered from the other side. Any balance that was agreed, assuming taxation on the costs would allow it, would come from the opposing party. That is my understanding of what the committee said.
