I've placed a full explanation of how we are involved in the personal injury claims arena in another thread in this forum. Here I thought I should answer as to why we previously may not have been able to pay affiliates for Scottish claims.
The legal systems in England and Scotland are very different and one example is that although in England anyone can be a claims referrer and receive payment for it, in Scotland there are strict guidelines as to who can refer personal injury cases and you are not legally allowed to receive a fee for it.
Therefore, we would have been classed as part of the case handling team and would have received a small 'bonus' at the end of a case. In this way it would be 2-3 years before we would be receiving any funds from Scottish cases that we were to pursue. As you can imagine, if we were an electrical store that paid affiliates for sales when the customer wasn't paying us for the next three years we would be bankrupt within the first month!!
Therefore we have found a way around this to be 'subsidised' at the beginning of the case and therefore have the funds to pay affiliates upfront.
