Course description
After a judgment in which the Senior Costs Judge disallowed over £53,000 in costs which a solicitor wished to deduct from damages recovered on behalf of their client, there are now thousands of claims outstanding against solicitors for allegedly taking too much from their client or for not having fully informed them of what would be deducted.
And now we have Belsner in the Court of Appeal.
In this virtual classroom session Dominic will explain the underlying rules and where errors are most commonly made. Any litigator running cases that have been costs budgeted is now in jeopardy. Those working with fixed costs are susceptible to attack too and of course we have two waves of new fixed costs rules coming in the next 12 months.
