FOCUS OF THE DAY: Litigation lawyers have given a cautious welcome to the Civil Justice Council’s (CJC) recommendations on damages-based agreements (DBAs). DBAs, a "no-win no-fee" funding option under which the lawyer takes a percentage of the damages if the case is successful, were one of the key civil litigation funding reforms set out by Lord Justice Jackson in his 2009 report. However, takeup has been low due to uncertainties surrounding their use. Full story - New Law Journal
