One Essex Ct vs Herbies: back from the brink

The heart bleeds for those poor barristers. Not only do they get paid the full wack of a brief fee by the solicitors whether the case proceeds or not - they can also take on other work for that time (ie if it settles) without having to give credit. How many other professions can do that? What an outdated system -My sympathy lies with Herbies- 1, Essex Court should have shared the pain - all barristers should- and they should participate in the credit control exercise re the client.
