On the face of it I dont see anything wrong with this. PIAB fee (which is normally around €2K) is a solicitor-client cost and thus not recoverable from the other side (defendants). The solicitor in this instance usually seeks to recover this from the settlement/award.
Nothing unusual about this. It's standard practice.
sorry csirl - that simply is not so.
Simply put, you do not get all your costs paid by the Defendant in Ireland. If there is no deduction from your settlement in a personal injury case (by agreement and further to a bill i'd hasten to add) then your solicitor is waiving some fees and possibly outlay.
This wasnt settled at the PIAB - it went to Court. If you win a Court case, the other side pays all your expenses including any costs incurred by the solicitors.
