Agree entirely with Dru Brooke-Taylor. But why not offer a no-cost 1 hour consultation instead? That cannot be an inducement to make a claim. If Joe Public won't make a claim unless "paid" to do so his claim can't have much merit and he should be advised that, or it is a sad comment on the greed-driven nature of society.

As has been mentioned in relation to other matters raised in these columns, the situation would be much healthier if damages were restricted to what they are intended for - to put the injured party in the position they would have been in but for the injury; no more of this "my neck hurts, I want compensation" nonsense.
