No Win, No Fee

[Carpbell3]

I got out of my court case by the skin of my teeth, didn't get awarded anything, I knew I wouldn't it was all about racking up a massive legal bill for the other side without it getting passed onto me, just managed it, so far it has cost them just shy of 20 grand to chase me for a small debt which the court squashed, up to them if they wish to appeal it, I have been baiting them but to no avail as yet.

That's the 1.

It was 1 of them 1 in a million things, I was handalling recycable plastic from a dolav into a baler, and it was in the plastic and not in a Sharps bin....

Had to go AnE, Tetnis, Hep B injection, 2 lots bloods taken and anti HIV meds for 30 days, then another Hep B injection each month for next 3 months, 2 more bloods after 6 months then get my results.

There was not 1% wrong on my end and someone in the Factory hasn't followed Sharps procedure. 

BIG investigation going on.

I got stabbed with a syringe by a shoplifter back in 2011 I think it was.

That was an A&E job, HIV, Hep C and B tests, and a year of blood tests and Hep B immunisation jabs.

The 'no win no fee' solicitor took the case on for criminal assault etc. The court awarded a total of £1000, which in terms of the mental health covered bog all. After he took his cut I got a total of £520.

The assailant got 2years after changing his plea on the trial day, he'd served 11months on remand, so had 1month more to serve before his release. Pleading guilty pretty much got 50% of the sentence reduced and time served.

Really not worth the effort either way.

Justice and sentences really wind me up, and Starmer let loose a lot more on early release to make places for 'right wing fascists' who were in many cases demonstrating against the current immigration, and not all were rioting.

Yep, did the Same, A&E, HIV injections, HIV medication, 3 lots of Bloods (results come back fine).

My Solicitors is a No Win No Fee, but I've used them before with good success, there take is 25% of the final outcome, which is I'm asking for 6 months Wages, we're the other Party has accepted liability straight away. I've seen doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrist, and have all told me that my Anciety is my worst diagnosis, I've go a consultation Monday, I'm going seeing another Psychologist in a few weeks, I've got regular meetings at work, as it can be seen I'm not actually upto my job lately....

I have no faith what so ever in the Justice System, ever since my lad got attacked on the Bus coming home from school, myself n wife found out everything about the attacker, retrieved CCTV from the bus, basically did all the work, not once did an officer come to my house or even speak to my Son (this was October 2022) I've still got the case file on my phone.

Back of the net!

Just got awarded a smaller amount than what I was asking for but a win is a win and it is a tidy amount, plus it's more the principle, I don't like being mugged off when money is involved, the only reason they have offered a payment is because they know with a solicitor to do the upper court for me I would clean up, I can't do it myself as you only get one chance and if you get it wrong all costs will be on you, no ifs no buts.

Just enough to redecorate the house plus new soft furnishings and a few bob left over to go towards a bit of summer pocket money, was thinking a holiday but she is still having ops so not much point, plus the prices for UK holidays are shocking.

Enforcement of a court order without the correct warrant not as drastic as it sounds, forced a payment out of me by threating me with bailiff action then tried to recover legal costs, it was at that point  I took them to court for execution of a court order without warrant as they removed my property without my agreement to cover an outstanding debt, which I did owe and offered to pay they were asking for unrealistic instalments I couldn't agree to, so I let them do their worst knowing they would step over the line, the court order they had agreed I was liable for the debt and they could recover their money the way they went about it was a problem, for them.

Couldn't get a solicitor to touch it on a no win no fee, Tort law which is complicated and they only do cases that are above 25k for the kind of lawyers that do this kind of a case it includes loads of consumer goods laws and protections, got my money back with a little bit on top.

[Carpbell3]

Oh the bit on top, a tenner as a gesture of goodwill, thought that was a bit light myself, end of the day I'm not out of pocket, the fact they sent a barrister to defend a civil case in lower courts made me very wary of proceeding their legal bills were huge the lower court agreed I wasn't liable to pay them.
