NO WIN NO FEE LITIGATION EXPLAINED
“No win, no fee” (sometimes described as “no foal, no fee”) is the way most accident claims or medical negligence claims in Ireland are taken. The solicitors and the barristers are only paid if the case is successful. The flip side of this is that they will only take the case if they think it is a good one. However, the legislation governing how solicitors operate makes it illegal for solicitors to advertise on this basis…Go figure!

UK Moves 'No Win, No Fee' Litigation Reforms to 2013
The implementation of Lord Justice Jackson's reforms of "no win, no fee" conditional fee arrangements (CFAs) has been pushed back for six months until April 2013.
The Ministry of Justice announced the delay Monday, with the decision taken to allow law firms and legal businesses more time to prepare themselves for the implications of the changes.
The civil litigation reforms, contained within the second part of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill, had been scheduled to come into force from October 2012.
The government has already announced that it is to delay part one of the bill, which deals with legal aid reform.
The civil litigation reforms -- which include the abolition of the recoverability of success fees and associated costs in "no win, no fee" CFAs, with claimants to pay their lawyers' success fees instead -- were confirmed in June last year.
The bill is largely an implementation of Lord Justice Jackson's recommendations for civil litigation costs reform published in 2010.
