I won’t comment re FR claims. But IA claims are civil claims. The same points apply to claims for catastrophic injury including care costs etc. Unless the state steps one party or the other must bear the cost of accessing funding. Sadly I see no realistic prospect of the state stepping in again.

The decision relates to 1975 Act & civil proceedings. The cost regime for FR cases is different. CFAs are not an option. Squaring the ⭕️ in all other civil claims involves the litigant paying the price they negotiated for their base fees being conditional. 1975 Act claimants are the same.
