Another fee dispute resolved. Another recruiter paid.
In this matter, recLAW successfully secured a settlement that brought a long-running debt recovery case to a close, with a total recovery of £34,000 for our client.
The latest settlement payment of £22,000 followed an earlier recovery of around £12,000, taking the total amount recovered on the matter to £34,000.
By applying the right legal pressure at the right time, recLAW secured a settlement agreement that brought the dispute to a close without the need for court action.
During the course of the case, an attempt was made by the opposition to challenge the agreed fee structure after an initial payment had already been received. recLAW successfully resisted that challenge, protecting our client’s position and ensuring the agreed arrangements remained in place.
The Result
- £34,000 recovered
- Settlement agreement secured
- Client’s position protected
- No court action required
The Takeaway
Recovering a debt is only part of the job.
Protecting your position throughout the recovery process is equally important. Challenges can arise long after liability has been established, particularly when significant sums are involved.
By taking early action and maintaining a clear legal strategy, disputes can often be resolved commercially, avoiding the time, cost and uncertainty that comes with court proceedings.
This case is a reminder that not every dispute needs to end up in court to achieve a successful outcome.
