Trade and Industry written question – answered at on 6 March 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in how many instances claimants have been informed of his Department's insurers' refusal to meet all solicitors' costs because of a breach of regulation 4 of the conditional fee agreement regulations.
Neither the Department nor its claims handlers would inform a claimant directly of a refusal to meet solicitors' costs in full unless contacted by the claimant. No tally of such contacts are kept. However, the onus to keep a claimant appraised of developments falls to the claimant's representatives.
