Fixed Recoverable Costs
The Association of Consumer Support Organisations (ACSO) has released a report saying that small firms may step away from the clinical negligence market if fixed recoverable costs (FRC) for cases worth less than £25,000 are set too low. The report, which is based on interviews with law firms, claimant organisations and the Law Society, suggests that the main concern about the introduction of FRC is "their potential to erode consumers' fundamental right of access to justice." Legal Futures picks up the story.
