Litigation Letter
Insured claimant’s success fee
Sousa v Waltham Forest LBC [2011] EWCA Civ 194; TLR 9 March
Is it permissible for the court to have regard to the fact that the claimant is insured (and has been fully indemnified) in
considering the question whether it was reasonable for the claimant (and/or his insurers) to instruct solicitors on terms
which included a success fee?
