Professional Negligence

Left with a costs order when you believed your case was no-win no-fee?

Taking out “After The Event” (ATE) insurance is a vital safety net against the financial burdens of legal battles. Unfortunately, an increasing number of individuals find themselves faced with cost orders despite having insurance or “no-win no-fee” arrangements in place, in some cases due to professional negligence. Complex Law specialises in supporting affected individuals in seeking redress.

Issues with ATE cover

Even with ATE insurance, individuals might still face the imposition of costs orders due to insufficient coverage or exclusions. Procedural missteps or non-compliance with court mandates can also result in uncovered costs orders. These situations highlight the critical need for a comprehensive understanding of ATE insurance coverage and its limitations.

Understanding ATE insurance

After The Event (ATE) insurance is crafted to cover legal costs and expenses for the insured party in the event of a loss in litigation — designed to support the pursuit of legal action by alleviating the financial risks involved. Nevertheless, the protection ATE insurance offers has boundaries. Unanticipated liabilities can emerge due to policy limitations, exclusions, or misunderstandings, leading to unforeseen costs orders.
