The court has provided guidance on how to protect personal representatives in potentially insolvent estates in Wedgwood v Hosein and another [2024].

From 1 April 2016, conditional fee agreements (CFA), after the event premiums and success fees will no longer be recoverable in insolvency cases.

The legislative change is set to have the biggest impact on lower-value insolvency cases (damages less than £500,000 and legal costs lower than £200,000).
