Our Speakers will be giving us the benefit of their views on the following subjects:
Costs Budgeting after Yirenki and Arcadia Group: are the judgments of Jacobs J and Warby J about hourly rates in conflict? Sanctions: any lifeline for offenders?
What is a “significant development" and a “good reason” to depart from the last agreed or approved budget?
Proportionality: is it worse than Brexit- when will we stop talking about it?
Fixed Costs and the Capped Pilot Scheme in the Business and Property Courts. Will this be the end of costs and detailed assessment as we have known it?
The Solicitors Act: still unfit for purpose: what changes are on the way?
Protected Parties: having your costs paid out of the client’s damages:
What is the new Practice in the Queen’s Bench Division and Senior Courts Costs Office?
The Electronic Bill: does it work and if not, can it be avoided?
What is the Pilot Scheme for Summary Assessment under PD 51X and will anyone use it?
A Journey through the latest Case Law: QOCS, Part 36, Third Party Costs orders, Payments on Account
Conduct sounding in costs following Bamrah and Murray v Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust
Conditional Fee Agreements and ATE Premiums: for how long will the CFA tail continue to wag after
