In a written ministerial statement to Parliament yesterday, 24 May, the government has announced that CFA success fees and ATE insurance premiums will continue to be recoverable in insolvency proceedings until April 2015. Recoverability in all other types of case is to be abolished from April 2013 on implementation of the relevant provisions of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (see post), subject to further exceptions for mesothelioma claims (pending a review) and insurance premiums for expert reports in clinical negligence cases.
