A bumpy playing-field

Did anybody spot the case of Campbell v MGN before the House of Lords the other day? Did you realise that if you are successfully sued by someone who has a Conditional Fee Agreement with their solicitor (commonly referred to as "no win, no fee") you may end up paying up to twice as much in costs as you otherwise would have done? I didn't, and I can't help but feel somehow that it ain't right.

P.S. Mea culpa - I had assumed (see post dated 10th October) that an insurgent was someone who came in from outside to create trouble, but apparently it is anybody who rises up against authority. Must consult dictionary more.
