Proceeding contribution from Lord Woolf (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
Would the noble Lord, whose knowledge about these matters I respect greatly, be good enough to indicate whether he can say with total confidence that the careful selection of cases, which already takes place when the lawyers have been getting a 100 per cent uplift, will mean that, if the same care is taken in selecting cases where the uplift is only 10 per cent, the number of claimants who have a reasonable prospect of success from getting legal representation will not be substantially reduced?
