A colleague of mine has had a Personal injuries case settled in his favour in court by the judge. The solicitor who took the case on a no win, no fee basis wants my colleague to sign a Settlement Authority so as he can lodge the settlement cheque to a client account. He will then take his fee and other expenses out of that. Is this normal practice?
The settlement cheque is for 14,500 euro and his fee and expenses over and above those costs paid by the defendants he says will be approximately 2,000 euro. Is that reasonable ?
