Pro bono or Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA)?

[Brietta]

Two claims have been made.

1. Carter-Ruck worked pro bono for the McCanns in their action against Express Newspapers.
2. A writ against Express Newspapers was not the reason a High Court hearing was arranged.

Number 1 has, in my opinion, been shown to be false.
Number 2 has not been explained. How did the parties end up in the High Court if no writ was issued?

Two out-of-court settlements were reached in 2008. One was with Express newspapers and the other was with Associated Press. One involved an appearance at the High Court and the other didn't. Why?

The salient point is the insinuation you have made regarding money ... and ... the Fund.

Snip
A similar complaint was made against Associated Newspapers. They also paid compensation and printed an apology, but never attended court. That means that no application to the court was made regarding that complaint. It has never been claimed that the money paid by them was donated to the Fund.

I have posted links showing that all damages received by Kate, Gerry and their friends was paid into Madeleine's Fund refuting your insinuation of otherwise which in my opinion is totally misguided.

[Brietta]

Please explain the connection between unfounded innuendo and whether CR worked pro bono ?

Whether CR worked pro bono or were paid handsomely the McCanns would have paid nothing personally as either the fund or a wealthy benefactor would have picked up the tab.

Unsubstantiated comment is against forum protocols at all times ... not only when it suits.

You have posted links which refer to Murat's claims, the Tapas seven claims and the McCann's claim against Express Newspapers. Could you direct me to your link explaining the settlement with Associated Newspapers?

Following your original post I asked you if your reference was to action taken by (Carter Ruck on behalf of) the McCann friends http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=9874.msg475637#msg475637

I had taken the bother to check out the accuracy of your insinuation ... it is not to your credit that you did not.

OMG - place marker only.

I've qualified the statement to explain I meant free of charge to the McCann's...I've never said CR were not paid

And you were wrong. You are on ignore I suggest you do not quote me again for the time being or at least until you explain that you now understand what Pro bono is.  Thank you.

Sorry, Sunny, you are entitled to have who you like on 'ignore' but Davel is entitled to quote whoever he likes as is everyone else if within forum rules.

I made it clear in my reply that it was not connected to the claims made by their friends.

Pro bono doesn't mean 'free of charge to the client', so you used the wrong legal term. Admit it and we can all shut up.
