That's another trap to avoid. Solicitor announces that it's a legal aid case
(or whatever) and he'll only be recompensed when the case is settled.
Tough.
Report requested, fee upfront please, or no dice.
End of discussion.

Sorry guys.
Without thinking, I forgot to say that this wasn't money for writing a
report on a practice patient. This was money for a medico-legal report,
commissioned and written on the understanding that the fee would be paid
when the case was settled.
