Claimant law firms rethink models as CFA regime comes crashing down

Remarkable how often changes in the rules always protect the larger establishments (banks, Local Authorities government departments and the like) who can afford the exorbitant and ever increasing cost of litigation. As an ordinary tax payer with an average salary I am forced to conclude that the law is about what you can afford rather than it is about truth and justice. I want to sue a liquidator and a major bank who have been clearly guilty of gross negligence. Perhaps the good people that make the laws should look hard at the effect on ordinary people who for the most part can no longer afford justice. The removal of legal aid and now this reasonably sums up our so called leaders respect for justice and the people they (supposedly) serve. If a solicitor is prepared to risk his money to effectively win a case then he damn well deserves to be well rewarded. Perhaps Jackson would like to show us all how I fund my case without the benefit of legal aid or solicitors who are prepared to take up the cudgel on behalf of those unable to afford taking on the "big boys" justice is fast becoming a corporate club.
