I think (obviously never been tested in court) you can acheive a hyrbid DBA by using a CFA though.

You set your hourly rates. Multiply those rates by ten. Apply that as the solicitor and own client rate.

You apply a success fee of 100%.

A CFA has always been able to be no-win, low-fee as well as no-win, no-fee. So in the event of a loss, you pay 30% of our basic charges (or whatever).

In the event of a win, you pay 100% of our basic charges, plus the success fee, subject to an overall cap.

The overall cap is such sum as is equal to any inter-partes costs award made in your favour plus 30% of any damages award in your favour.
