Member Case Studies
Case Study 1
A firm completed a recruitment process to employ a new member of staff. Afterwards an unsuccessful candidate filed a claim for discrimination. The tribunal advised the claim was unfounded but because of the nature of the allegation the case had to be heard. The claim was successfully defended by one of our solicitors. But, costs of £11,536 were incurred - costs the firm would have had to find if they were not covered by Chamber Legal Expenses. And they hadn’t done a single thing wrong!
Case Study 2
Another firm was the subject of a normal Inland Revenue investigation. In order to deal with it, specialist tax experts were instructed to defend the matter incurring costs of £6715. Costs the firm would have had to pay had they not had Chamber Legal Expenses.
Case Study 3
Their landlord when renewing their lease served a firm notice of a ‘schedule to repair and dilapidations’. The sum claimed by the landlord was around £100,000. Our solicitors were instructed to attempt to reject the claim and successfully reduced the costs by over 75%. Fees were incurred of £14,000 which was paid by us because the firm was covered by Chamber Legal Expenses
