A Landmark Court of Appeal Victory

In 2019, we represented Nicky Herbert in Herbert v HH Law Ltd [2019] EWCA Civ 527, one of the leading cases concerning success fees deducted from personal injury compensation.

The Court of Appeal confirmed that a solicitor cannot establish that a client gave informed approval to a success fee merely by pointing to the documents they signed. The solicitor must have provided a full and fair explanation of the charge so that the client could make a properly informed decision.

That landmark judgment provided important guidance for clients who were charged a standard or blanket success fee without a proper explanation of how it had been calculated.

Success in the Supreme Court

In 2024, we represented the successful client in Oakwood Solicitors Ltd v Menzies [2024] UKSC 34.

The Supreme Court unanimously confirmed that a solicitor does not necessarily “pay” their bill simply by deducting the amount from compensation held for the client. For the purposes of the statutory rules governing challenges to solicitors’ bills, the client must have been informed of and agreed to the specific amount being charged.

The judgment reinforced the importance of clients having a proper opportunity to see, understand and consider a solicitor’s bill before deductions are treated as payment.
