“Andrew Walker of Maitland Chambers, solicitors from housing charity Shelter, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, together acted pro bono to save a family from eviction of their home of 20 years. In the process they obtained the first large Section 194 ‘pro bono costs order’, requiring the losing party to pay £20,000 to the Access to Justice Foundation to support yet more pro bono.”
