The costs judge over your shoulder - Maximising costs recovery on an inter parties recovery - The litigator’s role

APIL CPD:
All levels - 1 hour

(Please note that the number of CPD hours may be subject to change)

Detailed assessment usually takes place after attempts at settlement of costs have failed and there are some major differences between the parties.

Relatively few litigators have experience of attending a detailed assessment and of the difficulties that can flow. This webinar looks at the steps that litigators should take to assist their client’s case when costs are being assessed, not just from at the assessment itself but from the outset.

It looks at what happens in a detailed assessment and what steps litigators should take from the start of the case to assessment to maximise recovery.  The solicitor’s conduct of the case will be closely examined and, on occasion, every item scrutinised in detail.

The webinar uses examples from reported cases to show where failures and omissions by the receiving party has led to their not recovering costs, or led to costs being substantially reduced.
