Script for the above Video
Yes, you can enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), also known as a "no win, no fee" arrangement, for a housing disrepair case with Duncan Lewis Solicitors. This will be subject to a merits assessment of your claim. Here's how it works:
1. No Win, No Fee: With a CFA, your solicitor agrees to represent you without charging legal fees upfront. If you win the case, your solicitor's fees and other costs are usually recoverable from the opposing party (in this case, your landlord). If you lose the case, you generally won't have to pay your solicitor's fees, although there may still be other costs you are responsible for.
3. After the Event (ATE) Insurance: You may also need to take out After the Event insurance to protect you from incurring costs if you lose the case. Your solicitor will discuss this with you.
It's important to carefully review and understand the terms of the CFA before entering into such an agreement. Additionally, legal aid and insurance options may be available.
