Budana v The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust & Anor [2017] EWCA Civ 1980

Important decision on the question of assignment/novation of conditional funding agreements (CFAs).  The transfer of a pre-1 April 2013 CFA by one law firm to another where the client only consented to it afterwards was a novation rather than an assignment; critically, the new solicitor could still recover the success fee.
