The Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 permits conditional fee agreements in certain categories of proceedings under which solicitors and counsel only receive a fee, and then at an enhanced rate, if the case is won (no win, no fee). Conditional fees are most commonly employed in personal injury cases. In all litigation solicitors are permitted to act whereby they receive no fee if the case is lost but the usual fee if they win. See ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT 1999; AFTER THE EVENT INSURANCE.
