Legal Expenses Insurance in UK Law

Jones v DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company Ltd
“
Waiver would never operate if "full facts" meant each and every detail of factual information which diligent digging can produce. Full facts relevant to the decision to be taken must be confined to the essential facts. What is important is that the litigant should understand the nature of the case rather than the detail. It is sufficient if there is disclosed to him all he needs to know which is invariably different from all he wants to know.

Hamilton v Al-Fayed (No 2)
“

QBE had no previous experience in the writing of legal expenses insurance.

Callery v Gray (Nos 1 and 2)
“
A second aim was to improve access to the courts for members of the public with meritorious claims. It was appreciated that the risk of incurring substantial liabilities in costs is a powerful disincentive to all but the very rich from becoming involved in litigation, and it was therefore hoped that the new arrangements would enable claimants to protect themselves against liability for paying costs either to those acting for them or (if they chose) to those on the other side.
