Jackson proposes sweeping reforms to cut litigation costs

If contingency fees are adopted, Lord Jackson's proposals in this area would represent a revolutionary change in public policy and that has got to be good news for commercial litigants. It would allow us to provide our clients with even better access to justice in complex, high value litigation: a simpler and more transparent regime that incentives lawyers to settle cases early and concludes with an actual result for our clients that is proportionate whatever the outcome. This is precisely what our clients want and, if permitted, we are certainly ready to pioneer the use of these arrangements in the highest courts.
