Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC writing in the New Law Journal:
“In short, what the elaborate structure of assessment comes down to, is not to keep costs down to a reasonable level, but to determine a market rate. In reality, it does not even do that. At best, it is an imperfect means of limiting dishonest claims.”

Amazing arrogance. Actually not so amazing, just arrogance.

The second sentence is an unfair generalisation. I wonder if Sir Geoffrey’s involvement with the feeding frenzy which was the Bloody Sunday enquiry has tainted his opinion on costs.

I don’t read it like that. It’s a bit like saying that there are a load of dishonest (which is a strong word) lawyers out there (OBVIOUSLY NOT US THOUGH – WE ARE A BEACON OF RESTRAINT AND TRANSPARENCY).
Which of course they may well be. But dissing everyone else pretty much is a shabby self-aggrandisement
