Pursuit
An insurance policy called Pursuit brings the price of justice in the civil courts within everyone's reach. Like the success fee in 'no win, no fee' arrangements, the premium, which is agreed in advance of a case, only becomes payable when you win your case. If you lose, Pursuit picks up all the adverse costs of the court action and disbursements to a limit agreed in advance.

Behind the policy is insurance giant Royal & Sun Alliance in association with Willis, one of the world's largest insurance brokers. Pursuit is not means tested and will apply to a variety of cases applicable in England and Wales including:
  • Commercial contract disputes;
  • Consumer disputes;
  • Insolvency actions;
  • Intellectual property;
  • Employment disputes;
  • Clinical negligence;
  • Professional negligence.
For details, discuss this with your solicitor.
