Legal Services Commission. ‘No win‐no fee’ costs agreements (version 2, 6 December 2012) 7 What is a litigation loan? As noted above, while a law firm accepts the risk of not being able to charge for their work under a ‘no win ‐ no fee’ costs agreement, they are usually entitled to recover any outlays. Some firms pay the outlays out of their own money, and recover them once the case is finalised; typically with an interest charge added. Where there is an interest rate charged, the rate should be stated in the costs agreement. Other law firms may ask you to enter into a litigation loan. This is a commercial loan from a credit provider that covers the cost of the outlays while the case progresses, but which has to be paid back (with interest) once the matter is finalised. If you are asked to enter into a litigation loan arrangement, be aware of the following: ▪ Any loan is separate from the ‘no win ‐ no fee’ costs agreement. ▪ These loans sometimes carry significant interest charges and other fees; all of which must be repaid at the end of the matter. This can mean that the ultimate amount you receive in the hand can be much less than you expected. ▪ Before entering into a litigation loan, ensure you receive the full terms for the loan and understand the interest, fees and charges that you are taking on. Seek independent legal and financial advice before committing to such a loan. ▪ Some companies offer a different type of loan; one that is not used just for outlays, but which can provide cash to an injured person while their claim goes through the system. Be aware that these loans often carry significant interest charges and other fees, and they must be repaid once the matter settles. Again, this can significantly reduce the ultimate payment to you. ▪ Interest on a litigation loan is not counted in the ‘50/50’ rule. It will come out of your ‘share’ at the end of the matter. And finally We repeat: if you are in any way unsure about what you are getting into, seek independent advice.
