I move amendment No. 138:

In page 100, to delete lines 9 to 12.

This concerns the prohibition on no fold, no fee. Section 122(1) states: "A legal practitioner shall not charge any amount in respect of legal costs if ... they are legal costs in connection with contentious business expressed as a specified percentage or proportion of any damages (or other moneys) that may be or become payable to his or her client, other than in relation to a matter seeking only to recover a debt or liquidated demand". Is it not a good idea for there to be a bit of price competition in this area? That is why I have tabled this amendment.
