p0430 REVIEW DENIED Under a contingency fee retainer agreement giving the attorney a percentage of the client's recovery including discharge of debt, the attorney's fee was limited to the percentage fixed by the agreement regardless of the amount of fees awarded by the court; damages unsuccessfully sought from the client by the other party did not constitute a debt that was discharged by the action, so the attorney was not entitled to a percentage of the amount that had been demanded.CitationBEARD v GOODRICH (Contingency Fee) 110 CA4 1031 [See: Flannery v Prentice 26 C4 572, T/AT 9/01]
