Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether you should pay the remaining legal fees when a case is compromised on the first date, before significant work is done. The consensus is that if you engaged an advocate, you are liable for the full agreed fee, even if the case settles quickly. Therefore, you should pay the outstanding balance to your solicitor.
