#Brew – Hirachand v Hirachand: Claims under the 1975 Act, CFAs and Success Fees

Join Brie Stevens-Hoare KC and Cameron Stocks at our next Private Client #Brew taking place at 10am on 25 October 2021.

They will discuss the practical and tactical impact of the Court of Appeal’s decision in Hirachand v Hirachand [2021] EWCA Civ 1498 in which Brie was Leading Counsel for the Appellant.

This Brew will address the practical effects of the decision on the recoverability of success fees as reasonable financial provision in such claims. In addition Brie and Cameron will look at the wider implications of the decision in relation to debarring orders in civil litigation and the relatively new CPR PD 1A concerning the participation of vulnerable parties and witnesses.

For ease, a copy of the judgment can be found here. For a summary of the issues considered in the appealed decision of Cohen J, see Cameron’s article.
