    I do love it when a big company has to spend hundreds of thousands on Barristers fees AND loses.

      Getting fees out of clients is like getting blood out of a stone.

      Those barristers may not get paid by Tesco for years & not without a fight - they’re prohibited from taking retainers and from turning down cases, and though they can refer cases on to other barristers, the circumstances in which they can do this are very limited.

      Except it’s Tesco so they’ll just raise the price of bread and milk or something to cover it
