The Sunday Times followed on from last week’s attack on the costs paid out in clinical negligence cases (see previous blog) with a Top 10 list of the firms who were paid the most by the NHSLA in 2007/08:
Irwin Mitchell £10.75m
Leigh Day £4.87m
Pannone LLP £4.83m
McMillan Williams £3.01m
Kingsley Napley £2.96m
Gadsby Wicks £2.40m
Russell Cooke £1.86m
Challinors Lyon Clark £1.58m
Keeble Hawson £1.55m
Withy King £1.53m
Total: £35.34m
The list was presumably meant to be a Hall of Shame but one suspects that there will be a number of firms looking at the list and their one regret will be that that they were not higher up the list.
