A family say a disgraced 'no win no fee' law firm is ‘liable’ for a spritely grandad’s death - after he was left footing a £12,000 court bill when it collapsed.
Ian Lofthouse, 74, was one of roughly 1,800 victims saddled with huge unexpected court costs after SSB Law went bust owing £48m worth of debt in January this year.
MPs are set to meet his devastated relatives - along with seven other ex-clients - in parliament on Tuesday (14) to discuss their experiences with the 'cowboy' company.
