Ten Commandments of Financial Remedy Notes

1. Minimum 40 paragraphs for a First Appointment; 90 for a FDR;

2. Tone should never deviate from rant. Work those adjectives – there is no such thing as delay, only disgraceful delay;

3. Figures on the schedule should read like the bottom line of a sight test: practically invisible to the human eye;

4. When it comes to adding colours, the more the merrier. Make your schedule look like a TV test card;

5. Your client is a modern saint. The other side is engaged in a criminal conspiracy;

6. Always confuse gross and net incomes. Gross for other side: net for your own;

7. Never cite one case when eight will do;

8. Property particulars: out of budget and off the market;

9. Never identity the issue until paragraph 60. Then disguise it;

10. No matter hopeless your case, always threaten costs.
