This research estimates that contingency fee arrangement backed insolvency litigation realises £150m-160m per annum.</p><p>When the exemption for insolvency proceedings was introduced in 2013 the impact assessment made the assumption that by April 2015 alternative funding arrangements would have been developed for insolvency cases. On that basis it was assumed there would be no major impact on the volume of insolvency cases which were pursued, or on the value of assets recovered in the long-run, although the risk of recoveries falling was acknowledged.</p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 27/11/2014 15:41:30 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
