Course description
Once you have been served a costs budget by your opponent, it is vital that you are aware of the options available to you and your client. Deciding whether to object to the budget requires a consideration of whether it may undermine your own budget, which is subject to a wide range of factors.
Dominic Woodhouse presents this live and interactive broadcast which considers these factors, to provide practitioners dealing with multi-track litigation with a more in-depth costs management strategy.
It will cover the core rules relevant to objections to an opponent’s budget, the format of objects, objecting to budget revisions, and more.
