What is No Win No Fee?
As a basic definition “No Win No Fee”, also known as a conditional agreement, is a type of agreement that is made with a Solicitor primarily in personal injury cases and civil litigation.
If your claim is successful
In a 'No Win No Fee' agreement your solicitor will only be paid if the claim is successful. He or she will also be entitled to an extra fee, known as a success fee. The losing party normally pays both the basic fee and this extra fee in whole or part. There are other incurred costs (disbursements) such as court fees or the fee for a medical report. Again, the losing party should pay all or part of these costs. You are liable to pay your solicitor for any costs that the losing party is not ordered to pay.
If your claim fails
You will not have to pay your own solicitor, but you will still probably have to pay the costs of the successful party - the other side. Also, you will have to pay any disbursements (court fees or medical report fees). However, your solicitor will normally be able to arrange insurance to cover this risk. This is known as 'After the Event' insurance. You may have to pay the insurance premium.
