Justice Committee, Official Report 26 September 2017, col. 16. In oral evidence to the Committee, Sheriff Principal Taylor explained his reasons for not ring-fencing future loss:
I have included future loss in the calculation of the success fee because to do otherwise provides an in-built incentive to solicitors to delay proceedings.
There have been some changes—for example, the temporary increase in universal credit is expected to mean a slight drop in poverty rates for the year in which it was in place.
I cannot disagree with any of the sentiments that you or your colleague Richard Leonard expressed in your contributions. Please speak through the chair, minister.
