Case settled for general damages €15,000.00 plus costs....
Solicitors fees were €11,000.00 (dropped to €9,500.00 or there about after) professional fees AND then to add on the usual VAT & Outlay etc...
Costs were paid by other side €5,500.00 plus the outlay (shortfall of about €300.00 left unpaid)
€5,000.00 inc VAT was taken from settlement which left 10k....
Does this sound right for such a small settlement?? Solicitors fees seem excessive...
Also should S.68 letter go out at start of case?
