Is a solicitor entitled to a charging order where the property was preserved or recovered while he or she was acting on the client's behalf?

When a solicitor is discharged by the client, the solicitor is entitled to a charging order where the property was preserved or recovered while he or she was acting on the client’s behalf: Clover v. Adams (1881), 6 Q.B.D. 622; Re Wadsworth (1885), 29 Ch.D. 517. In Re Wadsworth, supra at 520, Kay J. notes that it would be unfair to deny a charging order in the case of a solicitor who prepares a whole case down to the moment of trial, is then discharged and the client succeeds as a result of the former solicitor’s efforts.
