anon 8.07 "...the reason for fraudulent claims lies solely in the Profession and the Govt.'s lap for abolishing the rule against Maintenance and Champerty..."

Sorry, I thought the reason for fraudulent claims lies solely with fraudulent claimants? It's not the lawyers' fault that a claimant wilfully seeks to gain a pecuniary advantage through deception, and it is often (if not always) the lawyers who get unfairly tarnished with the claimants' dirty brush.

Fixed costs won't stop fraudulent claims. Clamping down on fraudsters will, not choking lawyers out of the equation. But the MOJ/HMG appear to be backing a different horse.
