Course description
Since its inception in April 2013 as part of the overriding objective, all costs must be proportionate, and costs which are not proportionate will not be allowed - even if they are necessary and reasonable. It is therefore vital that both receiving and paying parties understand how the test of proportionality is to be applied, and its likely effect on the costs ultimately awarded for your client.
This webinar will cover the following topics: the rules, most specifically the CPR 44.3(5) factors, such what is meant by 'sums in issue'; how budgeting and proportionality work together and the position in relation to additional liabilities. Recent approaches by the courts, including Reynolds v One Stop Shop and May v Wavell will also be examined. As will the leading case of West & Demouiplied [2019].
Presenter Michelle Walton is a Solicitor Advocate, whose experience spans both costs and main action litigation.
