[2001] QB 570; [2000] 3 WLR 1041; [2000] 1 All ER 608 Court of Appeal. Awwad (a claimant) entered into an arrangement with Geraghty (a solicitor) such that if he lost the case, only a nominal fee would be payable. A lost the case and refused to pay the reduced fee, so G issued preceedings against A. The court deemed the agreement between A and G to be Champerty, and therefore unenforceable. Note that this was in spite of the fact that if G had offered to charge no fee at all, rather than a nominal fee, this would have been permitted under the Conditional Fees Agreement Regulations (2000).
