Fixed Recoverable Costs Extension Tour 2023

Kerry is the acknowledged expert on this subject and his first book on it - Fixed Costs - was published in 2004 and he advised Lord Justice Jackson extensively on this subject.

This lecture tour dealt with Civil Litigation and Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Cases including the Fixed Recoverable Costs Scheme for sub £25,000 Clinical Negligence cases coming in in April 2024 .

There were two separate all-day courses, one dealing exclusively with Personal Injury Cases and the various fixed costs regimes, and one dealing with Civil Litigation only, excluding Personal Injury.

The courses were live streamed and recorded in Manchester, and a copy of each recording is available to purchase at a cost of £300 plus VAT per course.

Purchase of the recording(s) includes extensive electronic course material and three one-hour Zoominars in January, March and May 2024, at no extra cost, for Kerry to give updates as to how the new scheme is bedding in.

You will also be offered free copies of Kerry's three-volume book - Kerry on Personal Injury Small Claims, Portals and Fixed Costs together with Kerry's book on Qualified One-Way Costs Shifting, Section 57 and Setoff.

To purchase a copy of the recordings please contact Claire Long on 01442 430900 or email claire.long@lawabroad.co.uk

Belsner and Karatysz Court of Appeal Decisions

On 27 October 2022, the Court of Appeal gave its long awaited decision in the Belsner case; it allowed the solicitors’ appeal and the decision greatly restricts the possibilities of challenges to solicitors’ bills under the Solicitors Act 1974.

In Karatysz, delivered by the same Court of Appeal on the same day, the Court of Appeal gave guidance on how statutory bills should be structured and delivered.

In both decisions the Court of Appeal were highly critical of the business model of Checkmylegalfees.

However, it is rather more complicated than that, and you will get your money back 100 times over by getting the recording.
