A no win, no fee compensation claim can run very smoothly when both sides are satisfied with the level of disclosure they need to make as the case proceeds, but when one side does not want to reveal certain documents or other pieces of information this may cause problems in the procedure.
These are not insurmountable problems for a claimant's no win, no fee lawyer, however, who will have to try to force disclosure of the desired documents - such as details of lost earnings or records of previous work accidents - from the defendant.
Early in the compensation claim, the personal injury solicitor will have produced a list of documents to demand from the defendant. If the defendant's refusal to release documents on this list does not seem reasonable to the claimant, the solicitor will apply for a court order to enforce the release of the wanted documents.
If the order is granted, and the defendant still refuses to release the documents, it is possible that the claimant's case will be considered successful by default. (It is also possible that the defendant may demand documents; the claimant's case may be thrown out if he or she does not comply.)
There is a class of privileged documents, which may include correspondence between the defendant and the defendant's solicitor, or material that it would not be in the public interest to share. These documents would not be accessible even as a forced disclosure.
Aside from these documents, then, it should be possible for a no win no fee lawyer to gather all necessary material to make a claim on as informed a basis as possible. As the case is laid out in the shared information, it may become clear to the defendant - or the claimant - what the final verdict would be, making a settlement or arbitration without the costs and stress of court more likely.
