Mr. Williston feels that the historical abhorence of contingent fees is obsolete in the face of modern social conditions. He discusses the approach to contingent fees in various jurisdictions and the benefits and drawbacks of the different systems. Mr. Williston concludes that a controlled system of contingent fees would be a valuable contribution to the Canadian legal system.
