Hi JG,

I'm getting that info from post 266 on this thread Piplings says "We have to pay all our solicitor and barrister costs, unlike our neighbour who has a ‘conditional fee agreement’ for their legal costs i.e. a No-Win, No-Fee agreement i.e. no money pain! Oh and their barrister, Stephen Acton, also lives on Liphook Crescent and is a member of TLERA – favourable terms all round to our neighbours I would think."

I doubt Piplings would lie on this public forum.

You do raise interesting questions and I don't know the answers, in my naivety I thought the loser pays the winners costs. But I, thankfully, don't have experience.
