Pro bono or Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA)?

[Brietta]

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

Are we on the brink of being given information which substantiates your insinuation ... the suspense is ? ? ? ... well ... something or other.

Which settlement

There were two complaints or actions;

When our action against the Express Group was concluded, we also issued a formal complaint against Associated Newspapers, and particularly the London Evening Standard, which at that stage they owned......

we came to an agreement involving financial compensation and a front-page apology in the Standard

I used it in its literal sense..not it's strict legal sense..you might as well shut up ...no point in going on and on

'Pro bono publico' is the full phrase. The literal translation is 'for the public good'.

I see the goalposts are being moved part way through the game.That's just not cricket.

Such maturity.   Any chance of an adult discussion of facts or is it a playground spat.

You don't see it?  this display of tripe is being played out in a fantasy land. What else can we add to this thread, how many cites,definitions of Pro Bono will make any difference to these supporters.

This is pure trolling behaviour. IMO... I find it hilarious! The joke below sums it up...

A judge who had an eye condition which is known colloquially as  ‘crossed eyed’ Had three defendants standing before him. He said to the first one, what do you plead, the second one said Not guilty your honour, the judge said I wasn’t talking to you be quiet!, the third man said What? Me? I never said a  word!

Laughing out loud is good for the soul.

I consider it trolling too. All those who are consistently refusing to accept the truth only make themselves look more foolish IMO.

Do you have any more info....it's says a formal complaint rather than a libel action

SHHhhhh they can't see past their own self importance to know they are actually causing more damage to the McCanns rep. By talking such rot, and offering nothing is terms of offering decent debating challenges to the Tapas 9 statements, which are being scrutinised.

I've often thought this. By their constant  and often inventive excuses they keep the McCann saga alive  in cyber world.

What's the difference?

[Sunny]

Probably a normal (fee paying) retainer rather than the more expensive legal costs (which would have been partially covered by a CFA. Nothing pro bono here.

Mr Tudor: Yes. My partners and I talked about it. We have a committee of partners that looks at whether or not a case is on a no win, no fee basis, as you probably heard from my partner, Mark Thompson. We did that with Kate and Gerry's case. It was a longer, more difficult discussion than would ordinarily be the case because of the extraordinary nature, volume and so on. We sent the complaints to The Express and The Star, at which point we were acting on a normal retainer. We indicated to Kate and Gerry and we told The Express and The Star at that time that if the matter was not resolved we would indeed go on to a no win, no fee arrangement.

The translation from the Latin is "for good" so that don't help your cause too much do it?

Wriggling and jinking like a baggie minnie so yous are.

[Robittybob1]

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.

Why doesn't it? Could it be a retainer or a reduced rate or even a CFA?

That is right they don't have goalposts in cricket.
