An important judgment on conditional fee arrangements (CFA) has been made which could result in more agreements being reached before court.
In a disease case a claimant had refused to voluntarily disclose the contents of the conditional fee arrangement and the risk assessments to insurers.
He was seeking to recover more than £40,000 in costs
But the judge found that details of both the conditional fee arrangement and the risk assessment were not privileged and should be disclosed.
The decision sets a precedent for the early disclosure of conditional fee arrangements and means insurers will be able to look at details of a costs claim at an early stage.
