There is no love lost between Discovery Health and personal injury law form, Ronald Bobruff & Partners. Both parties have sent letters to old and existing members, telling them what shits the other one is.

This, from moneyweb:

Discovery Health ignited a powder keg last week when it wrote to its members who are or were clients of personal injury law firm Ronald Bobroff & Partners (RBP), advising them that RBP may have severely overcharged them in their Road Accident Fund (RAF) claims.

Ronald Bobroff reacted aggressively with a letter of his own which he sent to all of his previous clients. In this letter he not only strongly denies the allegations, but claims that Discovery Health and this journalist are waging a vendetta against his firm.

These letters are the latest in the war of words between Discovery and the Bobroffs and follow several judicial findings that RBP’s common law contingency fee agreements are unlawful.

You can read both of those letters here.

The war of words between Discovery and Bobroff follows judgments in two high-profile cases.

In the first case De la Guerre took RBP to court and in a groundbreaking Constitutional Court judgment handed down earlier this year, succeeded in having fee agreement declared unconstitutional and unlawful.

Read Bobroff’s contingency regime unlawful.

The effect of the judgment was retrospective in that it declared every similar RBP fee agreement that had been entered into over the last thirteen years to be invalid.
