NO WIN NO FEE EMPLOYMENT CLAIMS

Employment compensation claims are dealt with using the no win no fee scheme. Clients do not need to finance their claim and they take no risks with their own money. The ‘official’ name for this type of arrangement is a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’ or CFA which were initially introduced to replace the overstretched Legal Aid scheme whereby victims could apply for public funding to cover the cost of financing a case in a court of law. Taking an employment compensation claim to a judge at an Employment Tribunal or Employment Appeal Tribunal is entirely risk free - you do not have to pay any fees or fund any part of the claim process. In the unlikely situation that you lose the case, there will be nothing to pay.

Conditional Fee Agreements

Conditional Fee Agreements were first introduced in 1998 when the Government, through the Legal Aid Board ceased funding the Legal Aid Scheme for personal injury compensation claims (the government still provides a level of funding but this tends to be only for certain medical negligence claims). The CFA permits a solicitor to only be paid if and when he or she wins compensation for a client. If the case is lost then the solicitor or legal team must write off the expenses and no charge may be made to the client. In the case of no win no fee employment compensation claims if the claim is won then the solicitor claims a percentage of the award in lieu of fees which are not awarded by the Industrial Tribunal which makes a bare award of compensation and nothing more.
