They've acted for me twice now and on both occasions they've done a cracking job for a good fee.
These ex miners who are moaning are the ones who've been given nothing in the way of compensation or have been given a little, something in the region of £1,000 if you get £1,000 you still have to pay a fee to the solicitors, lets get the 200,000 miners they've represented over the last 10 years and see if they've got anything bad to say about them? I doubt they'll have anything bad to say about them.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) agreed to pay lawyers' fees in successful cases and it was also agreed that in unsuccessful cases miners would not have to bear costs.

So no one should have paid anything out of their compensation because the DTI paid the solicitors.
