What this does of course is show just how false is one of the principal planks on which the Jackson reforms were based. He argued I believe that if litigants faced liability for costs personally that they would cut sort litigation and seek to settle.
He missed the point that where the lawyers will only get paid if they win it will be they who cut short the litigation and settle or withdraw a case not the client. It would I think be a foolish but brave solicitor who chose to conduct boundary dispute litigation under a CFA!
