Fortuitous flutter

Much to Ken's dismay, his client was unsuccessful at the hearing of the matter. But Ken was puzzled by his client's nonchalant reaction to the unfavourable verdict. Asked to explain why he was not upset, the client told Ken that before the hearing he had contacted his bookmaker, who said plaintiffs usually won in these cases. So the client backed himself to lose - investing £50 at odds of 10 to 1.

The following is an extract from "Ph i l l i ps Fox B r i e f i ngs" (Australia) for May 1989, submitted to the Gazette by David R. Pigot, Solicitor. Sydney senior partner Ken Austin recently recalled a story that proves there is more than one way for a plaintiff to win a case. Ken once acted for a client claiming damages after a motor vehicle accident. He advised the client that the damages might be assessed at around £500.
