    The solicitor should be liable for the other sides costs in extreme cases.

    Just seen the Journal article....didn't give his name or use the pictures/footage made available to the Media.
    It really is a rag of a 'news' site

    Six One News has a case example - I'll assume this fella had legal advice.

    Fair play to them for getting that video.

    He would have been paid had they not.

    We need a serious rethink about insurance and claims in this country.

    It boils my blood we pay for ******* like that in our premiums.

    Enough.

    The case cited above has been going since 2016. The MIBI will never get a cent from this guy. They will still have all their investigation and defence fees to cover so even though he didnt get paid its still going to cost them likely 10s of thousands. As MIBI is funded by our premiums its costing us 10s of thousands. We have made our own bed and are currently lying in it. I am confident changes are coming but its going to take time. I'm sure the likes of Pearse Doherty will go to town with this case the same way as he goes to town on insurance companies.....
