What's the difference between "getting to court" and "gaining a proof hearing" ?

Well, as any solicitor will tell you, getting a case to court is easy but getting a case to a "proof hearing" before a judge, or even a jury, depends very much on the nature of the litigation.

Negligence cases are one of the most difficult cases to proceed to a proof hearing - let's not kid ourselves, clients have a hard time getting anyone in the profession to take on a negligence action against a professional colleague, or an allied profession.

Here we have a witness to the 2006 Justice 2 Committee hearings on the Legal Profession & Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 pointing out inconsistencies between the claims of Douglas Mill, Law Society Chief Executive, and Trevor Goddard of the Royal Sun Alliance.

Who was telling the truth on this one ? - not the Law Society by the looks of things ...
