Aims

Under s345 of the Legal Profession Act 2004, the estimation of ‘reasonable prospects of success’ when referring to a claim or a defence to a claim for damages can be an area of confusion. What does ‘reasonable prospects of success’ mean in practice and how can practitioners avoid the consequences of s347-9 of the Legal Profession Act 2004?

In this paper, Cora Groenewegen of the Legal Costs Unit addresses some of these issues.
