        CFA is the funding agreement

          Just took a look at the CFA, standard model template based on the Law Society's. Whilst it does not refer to any transfer of law firm it does mention that you must pay them their fees, disbursements etc. albeit if you win.

          I suppose the rest of the terms could be held under the Client Care Letter - do you remember this being the only documents you first received? Last time I was there, they sent out a pack which contained request for personal info for money laundering checks, a client care letter, funding agreement and a few other things.

          Even in the Client Care Letter, there is unlikely to be anything in there to say you can't move solicitors but if you do move you will probably have to pay their fees unless you can agree with the new firm that their fees will be paid if successful by way of undertaking. Solicitors are always reluctant to give an undertaking unless they have a high chance of winning.

          Either way, if you want to leave then I suppose you could but I believe there was a term somewhere which said if you decide not to pursue it further without good reason then they can recover their fees from you that they have worked on to date.

            Going through this process at the moment, what a 'mare and a minefield it is, different company for one medical, then wait for for the report from IME only to find it contradicts the entire medical findings thus far and helps no one but the third party insurers (who admit liability!). Mine is still on going and no where near being resolved, a year nearly off work, looks like my job has gone (although not completely, 2 month occupational health health assessment by physician, same one as in march so least its continuity,,being assessed as disabled as a result of the accident..yet i spend half my day chasing records and doing the independent companies jobs for them!
