I spent an enjoyable Saturday chairing a costs seminar that was being run by the Association of Costs Lawyer. (Hey, it beat Christmas shopping.) Some very interesting sessions from Simon Edwards from 39 Essex Street, Simon Brown from Crown Office Chambers (yes, there really were three Simons) and the ACL’s ever reliable Educational Development Officer Murray Heining.

However much one thinks one knows about costs law there is always something new to learn. And a frightening amount one is at risk of forgetting.
