2021 03 08 Costs chat with friends - Andrew Post QC with Jeremy Morgan QC and Andy Ellis
Update: 2021-03-11
Description
In our latest PodCost, Andrew Post QC joins us from Hailsham Chambers and we talk about:
1 - The Zuberi v Lexlaw decision of the Court of Appeal on the enforceability of DBAs and what it means for the ability to effect termination clauses (easy) and to introduce hybrid fee arrangements (difficult).
2 - The possibility of partial relief from sanction for late filing of a costs budget based on obiter remarks in Heathfield International LLC v Axiom Stone (London) Ltd.
3 - Merricks v Mastercard will shortly return to the CAT and certification for this opt-out class action is expected. We discuss what this means for costs in collective actions and how the CAT may approach costs management if it can be encouraged to develop an appetite for budgetary control.
4 - A year after the first lockdown kicked in, we consider the good and bad aspects of remote working, in court, mediation and in daily practice.
