Costs Management: Budgeting in Civil Proceedings

Webinar

29 Oct 2024

6:00PM - 7:30PM

Since 2013 in moderate to high value cases, the Courts have set budgets in advance for a party’s recoverable legal costs, which in most instances determine how much that party is able to recover from their opponent, though there are an increasing number of cases indicating that the budget will also often limit the costs that can be recovered from the solicitor’s own client.

This webinar is aimed at practicing expert witnesses.

The budget includes your fees and is a power the Court can use to control those costs, in addition to other powers it has to limit the fees of experts in advance. Join Dominic Woodhouse for an explanation of the Costs Management regime, the documents and procedures involved, the very great pressures being brought to bear on all fees in civil litigation, how you can best protect your fees, and the essential points to take into account when you’re asked to reduce them.

CPD: 1.5 hours
