• The post you are reporting:
   
  The Times article clearly states that Carter Ruck worked for Elphicke on a conditional fee basis. We don't know the specifics (percentages, insurance etc.), but it means a claimant's fees are due only if a case is won, and are paid out of compensation. ('No win, no fee'.)
  
  The arrangement allows ordinary folks to pursue an action, but people of considerable means exploit it for gagging purposes, and the lawyers have a financial incentive to carry on gagging.
