To fund a breach of contract claim a claimant enters into a damages-based agreement with a firm of solicitors set at 20%. The claimant’s solicitors pay disbursements of £5,000. The action is settled. A settlement order is drawn up under which the defendant agrees to pay the claimant damages in the sum of £150,000 and agrees to pay the claimant’s solicitors’ costs of £10,000 plus disbursements of £5,000. The defendant pays the amounts due to the claimant’s solicitors.
