Okay. But you see how, when you say one thing in the summary and then another thing in the actual act, it can be a little bit confusing to the average person. Consistency is key, just so we're all on the same page.
When it comes to low-income individuals, say they end up in a car accident, and ICBC in my province says, “We're not going to pay you for things”. It happens all the time. Someone goes to a lawyer, and the lawyer says, “I'll represent you. It's not going to be free, but if we have a winning case, I'll get a percentage, a contingency”.
How does that work in that case? Would they be paying tax, about 20% per year, on something that may never result in money coming in the door?
