The barristers of Gatehouse Chambers’ award-nominated Costs & Litigation Funding Team provided a breakfast seminar double-header, addressing recent developments in solicitor-client costs disputes and costs budgeting.
Costs Budgeting and costs risks
Robin Dunne and Jake Rowley considered the flurry of recent cases concerning the circumstances where the court should depart from ‘costs in the case’ orders following CCMCs. What are the risks and how can solicitors and costs lawyers mitigate them? What costs should go into a budget, and should the parties “self-assess” their costs for reasonableness and proportionality at the budgeting stage? What about assumptions and how they impact on the likely budget to be approved?
Watch a recording of the second seminar, ‘Costs Budgeting and Costs Risks’ below.
