Is this one bit we can all agree with?? From my 'fave' rag - the DM
"There is likely also to be crackdown on lawyers’ ‘no win, no fee’ arrangements, which encourage lawyers to take on speculative lawsuits because they can demand huge costs from defendants like the NHS if they win.
Personal injury law firms will be limited in what they can say and what sort of advertising they can engage in.
Other changes would see success fees charged by lawyers in ‘no win, no fee’ agreements no longer recoverable from defendants – instead they would take their cut from the victim’s pay out.

My only comment on anything published by the Daily Mail must be what one of the contributors to their blog said "The majority of posters here seem to only read the headline and look at the pictures and let their petty prejudices do the rest"
That comment I fear is all to indicative of the average DM reader and thus devalues anything that they publish.

To fully understand the legal system in the UK re the 'no win no fee' situation and how it differs from the rest of the world [to my knowledge] you need to understand just how our legal profession gets paid - thereafter you will realise that the legal people win irrespective unlike the US, Australia etc

Lord Young would also like to see a reduction in the huge number of risk assessment forms that teachers have to fill in before going on trips. There will instead be a simple consent form for parents to sign
I wonder how many parents will sign these consent forms knowing that there has been no RA done.
I can also see the headlines now when the first fatality occurs....and I bet the DM leads the way

I wonder how many parents even know what a risk assessment is?
Appreciate posters here may well be parents, but a small minority?

I agree - most people wouldn't know a RA if it fell on them, but I imagine they consider that the school has thought through what they want to do properly and not just expect to turn up on the day and hope it all goes well.
