This is going off at a complete tangent, but -

These "no win, no fee" merchants (PPI, personal injury etc). Is there any data showing what percentage of a "win" they take? Must be a fair amount - if only to pay for their ads.

Not an expert, but from what I can see the amount they can claim is capped at 25% of the damages awarded. There are other rules and regs about them - client insurance against paying the other sides costs, and an understanding about having to pay some disbursements.
