Paau first you say  "Yes, they will spend time on the case and time is money but it is amazing how a contingency case like this will just get added to the pile and everyone in the law firm will maintain the same utilisation rate and billable hours." Then you say  "I suspect Gowling had a threshold number of opt-ins which once reached would allow them to pursue litigation with vigor. In my experience they won't do this half-heartedly. Once they commit they go all out as nothing less will give them the best result. It is all or nothing for them."      Which is it, added to the pile or vigor?
