Family say no win no fee law firm partly liable’ for a spritely grandad’s death
- 9 days ago
A family say a disgraced 'no win no fee' law firm is ‘liable’ for a spritely grandad’s death - after he was left footing a £12,000 court bill when it collapsed.
Ian Lofthouse, 74, was one of roughly 1,800 victims saddled with huge unexpected court costs after SSB Law went bust owing £48m worth of debt in January this year.
MPs are set to meet his devastated relatives - along with seven other ex-clients - in parliament on Tuesday (14) to discuss their experiences with the 'cowboy' company.
But his grieving widow Katrina, 71, said SSB Law had acted "shabbily" and felt it was partly to blame for Ian's tragic death on May 1.
