QUOTE (JeffG @ Jul 27 2010, 11:49 AM) At the bottom of each page of the main web site is a menu bar with the usual things like Contact, Privacy policy and Site map. I've just noticed that at the end is an item "No Win No Fee", which links to an ad for a No Win No Fee lawyer. Apart from being an inappropriate place for a link lilke this, should a reputable organisation such as the NWN be carrying ads like this at all? Edit: I'm wondering if the site designers "snuck" this in without the knowledge of NWN. It's still there!

While you might not agree with the 'no win, no fee' model, it has given thousands access to legal remedies against multinational companies that they would not normally have.
What has soured the industry is those practices who submit flimsy claims in the hope of a payout as it's cheaper to settle out of court. |

What has "soured the industry" is the American model of litigation first (and on the cheap), rather than people taking responsibility for their own actions.

This works at corporate level as well. If people or organisations knowingly put people at risk for their own gain, then they should be brought to account; in my view. |
