Article summary

This week’s edition of PI & Clinical Negligence weekly highlights includes an analysis which looks at the upcoming changes to the qualified one-way cost shifting regime and what claimant firms of solicitors need to think about in respect of their retainers. We also consider a High Court decision in which a council recovered a contribution from foster parents in a failure to remove claim. In addition, we have our usual round-up of other key cases and news, a recently published Q&A and New Law Journal articles of interest.
