Course description
Coroners have no power to award costs of legal advice or representation at inquests. Where a successful civil claim follows, parties will attempt to recover the costs of the inquest as well as the costs of the civil proceedings from the losing party.
The starting point is section 51 of the Supreme Court Act 1981, which enables the court to award costs ‘of and incidental to’ civil proceedings. This short webinar, presented by Reuben Glynn, will help litigators involved in inquests to maximise their costs recovery. The core principles will be covered, along with key caselaw such as Roach & Anor v Home Office, and practical hints and tips.
Reuben has been involved in the legal services industry as a cost consultant for the last 10 years and lectures extensively on case and cost management, so be sure to tune in to benefit from his expertise.
