Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)

The underlying logic is that people are being encouraged to go forward who really should not. I have a difficulty with that narrative, and I would come back to the insurance companies about narratives. We cannot have any narrative about no foal, no fee because we do not know, except that solicitors and barristers, who are often very courageous, go forward to take cases on behalf of people who would not have access to justice if they did not do that. Is that not right?
