Litigation Letter
Flexible ATE premiums
The RSA Pursuit Test Cases SCCO 27 May 2005
This is of necessity a bullet point summary of Senior Master Hurst’s 486-paragraph judgment concerning ATE policies issued
by First Assist, a subsidiary of Royal and Sun Alliance. The premiums were based on the claimant’s solicitors’ estimates of
their own and the defendant’s costs, increasing as the litigation progressed and payable only if the case was successful.
