>> I am afraid its sad reflection of the ambulance chasing lawyer days we live in.
And yet, and yet, should somebody with a legitimate claim be prevented from pursuing it because they cannot afford to pay for a lawyer?
I'm not clear how, with the facts as outlined in the OP, the claim against other riders would have been different in ages past if the prospective claimants had been getting Legal Aid.
They presented at their lawyers with what looked like a plausible claim. The lawyers were then told it's all row locks; the actual facts are these. Lawyers get that looked at, at no cost to Fullchat and his friends, and tell their clients to go forth. Losers are either the lawyers or the people insuring them for No win/no fee claims that don't succeed.
In so far as there are ambulance chasing chancers they're a direct and foreseeable consequence of public policy under governments of both stripes and their policies on public funding of claims.
