Costs budgeting is compulsory for most Multi Track cases issued after 1st April 2013. The costs budgeting process can be riddled with pitfalls and complexities and it is imperative that you seek input from an appropriately experienced legal costs expert during this process.
When it comes to costs budgeting, there are many Judgments that serve as timely reminders that as far as compliance with Court directions and rules are concerned, the Courts are not prepared to indulge parties who fail to follow the rules to the letter. Breaches of costs management rules are not taken lightly by the Courts and often result in the Courts imposing severe sanctions, including leaving Solicitors entitled to only the Court fees of their costs budget.
Our team of Costs Lawyers and Draftsmen have the knowledge and experience to fully comply with the requirements of the costs management process and prepare accurate costs budgets that you can confidently rely upon.
