The latest developments in costs and funding

As ever, there has been a steady stream of case law, rule changes in recent months. This webinar will highlight the key developments, such as the law firm which set its success fee at more than 100% (280%, in fact) and was ordered to repay its client $3m!

The Intermediate Track Rules were amended with effect from 6 April, with more to come later in the year, and of course more part 36 issues have surfaced.

This webinar will cover the following:

• Can the court sever an unlawful provision in a retainer?
• Does part 36 apply to an assessment under the Solicitors Act?
• What are the key changes in the Intermediate Track?
• What is happening about fixed costs in low value clinical negligence claims?
• Is a paying party entitled to see a breakdown of a bill rendered by a medical reporting agency?
• Indemnity costs for breaching the overriding objective.
