Fixed recoverable costs 6 months in

October 2023 saw the creation of the ‘intermediate track’ bringing with it fixed recoverable costs. A vast array of claims worth up to £100,000 are captured by the changes.

In this webinar, Professor Dominic Regan will investigate the problems identified by practitioners so far, including around the transitional provisions for cases that began before 1 October, and explain the rule changes that are already set to come into force in April 2024 – which will at least lead to lawyers receiving higher fees.

Topics will include:

• A pay rise
• Clinical negligence clarification
• What counts towards the 20 page expert report page limit?
• Contracting out of fixed costs
• A new Stage 16 added!
• New recoverable advocate’s fee on late settlement
• Gravesend expelled from London!
