I recall, in 2013 when the CFA rules changed, one particular firm of costs lawyers touted for business by advising PI RTA solicitor clients they would, for a fixed fee, 'create a bill' in every deductions case which would 'maximise the profit costs claim' so that the 25% deduction from client would always be covered. They also advised such clients to increase their 'solicitor/own client rates' to such a level (£300 +) so as to assist in this deductions capture.
