No Win No Fee Explanation
If we act for you on a No Win No Fee basis, then:
- You will not be required to pay any professional fees or disbursement up front while we pursue your claim on your behalf.
- You will not pay any professional fees or disbursements to us unless:
(i) We win your case and you get damages/compensation for your injuries from a third party; or
(ii) We cease to act for you in the matter because of a breach by you of our Client Agreement.
- If you receive damages/compensation from a third party, then our legal fees and disbursements will be deducted from the damages/compensation you receive (for an amount limited by our Costs Agreement and/or the 50/50 rule pursuant to the Legal Profession Act);
- If your claim is unsuccessful or ends up in Court (which is rare) and you lose:
(i) You will not be required to pay our professional fees and disbursements unless the reason for being unsuccessful or losing in Court is because your claim is shown to be not genuine or an attempt to defraud any party;
(ii) You may be required or ordered by the court to pay the other party’s legal costs (professional fees and disbursements).
- Our agreement to pursue your claim on your behalf is subject to us being satisfied that:
(i) Sufficient primary liability for your injuries rests with a third party; and
(ii) The nature and extent of your injuries and the amount of likely damages/compensation payable to you warrants the pursuit of a claim on your behalf.
