In the old days we used to sit down with the client and take an exhaustive history of the accident and the consequences. Having done that, we would then explain the funding options. Once the client had decided which funding option to choose, and assuming it was a CFA, said client would be invited back into the office to complete the paperwork. Even when it was 100%, done properly, explaining a CFA was complicated. By eyeballing the client it was possible to assess whether they were understanding your explanation and for those struggling, further explanations could be provided.
Judges on detailed assessment hearings used to complain about this "gold plating" of low value PI claims.
Can anyone tell me how you explain the benefits of ATE from the Part 36 protection perspective in simple language that an unsophisticated lay client will understand?
All most clients get now is a letter, various leaflets/FAQ guides most of which almost certainly aren't read.
