"....I am amazed at the ignorance. .."

I'm not surprised by your ignorance with your comments on anything academic and an approach seemingly hell bent on racking up costs.

"....Success fees and ATE arose from the desire to remove legal aid but to ensure access to justice. ..."

From PI yes. But one could always put care and conduct on anyway. Have a look at an old copy of Cook on Costs (I know I know I hear the cogs turning over ... what's that ....!)

"....That remains the case hence the successful cases have to pay for the unsuccessful ones. .."

You should be able to do basic investigatory work ot bullet non runners under the QOWCS regime, not rack up experts bills in trying to prove liability where there (a) isn't any or (b) it is disproportionate to litigate (hence in the latter case you use a Hospital GP or Registrar first). Common sense really. I presume you do know what this is?

This topic has really raised the true problem ... [which] ... is the ignorance of those that do not work in the sector but chatter on about it as if they were experts. It is akin to Daily Mail readers going on about Johnny Foreigner.

Or who read the Solicitors Journal and New Law Journal which some on here apparently don't know exist?

"...It is very sad really. It also makes me wonder whether or not the LSF were rigorous enough. ..."

Oh I wouldn't say that. In many Uneeeeees, the pass rate went up 150% over night when they were allowed to mark in house.

I think it was to do with the fact that the students became 150% more intelligent overnight myself (well most of them save some blogging about racking up costs on a Med Neg 'claim' on here and there were always exceptions but such usually confined themselves to PI or Med Neg 'Factories' somewhere, its just they are now being found out by the more enlightened) .....
