The Seminar

In this Inter Partes Costs – 2018 Year in Review Robert Kerr, Inter-Partes Team Leader and Costs Lawyer and Adam Fox, Costs Lawyer briefly examine and comment upon some of the more important cases and developments of 2018.

The past twelve months have been a fascinating and important year in the development of costs law. Following numerous false starts the new electronic bill of costs finally became mandatory in April and as litigators, costs draftspeople and costs lawyers alike have got to grips with this significant change, the Senior Courts Costs Office released updated guidance for the first time since 2013. Consideration was given to budgeting, qualified one-way shifting and interim payments and the Courts and litigants alike once again grappled with the slippery concept of proportionality.
