A Bill to prevent conditional fee agreement success fees and after the event insurance premiums being recoverable from the losing party in civil litigation; to facilitate damages-based agreements for contingency fees in respect of successful litigants; and for connected purposes.
The bill would stop the losing party in civil cases from having to pay the winner’s costs that arise from conditional fee arrangements (including success fees) and from after-the-event insurance premiums. It would also enable lawyers to use damages-based agreements (contingency fees) for successful litigants. The aim is to reform costs rules in civil litigation and related matters.
