To the person who posted at 1:50pm and agrees with Jackson, his proposal would actually have reduced the creditor recovery of £50k, possibly to zero. This is because the law firm would have done a solicitor own client CFA. Their success fee would have been taken out the damages instead of being recouped from the defendant. In circumstances you describe, there are probably better ways of achieving a more proportionate outcome - eg cost capping the solicitors fees and the new rules around IPs needing creditor backing for fees.
