What about pre issue costs? Are those going to be simply agreed by Defendants? Particularly where judges record comments about costs already incurred.
What about cases which were not issued? Will Defendants be simply writing cheques for the total of the bill?
I wouldn’t have thought so
Good luck to all the Costs “lawyers” in securing alternative employment!
well I have just come from a seminar run by a well known Regional Costs Judge who said the exact opposite!! no surprise there then!!!
i think i have just spotted Master Haworth selling his fishing tackle on ebay!!!
Perhaps he’d like to have a word with Mr Justice Coulson…….
Can’t see Mystic Meg having a run for her money anytime soon!!
