Post-Jackson Costs Cases - Sue Nash, Litigation Costs Services

21/10/13. We are now 6 months+ into the post-Jackson era and while the Court of Appeal has yet to get involved (although see Mitchell below), there have been a few cases that may indicate how the new regime will affect us all in the future. Most of these have been to do with compliance with the new Rules and I urge everyone to read the 18th lecture in the Jackson implementation series of lectures which was delivered by the Master of the Rolls on 22nd March this year. http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Speeches/mr-speech-judicial-college-lecture-2013.pdf

This article concentrates on and summarises the few cases that impact directly on costs management. A future article will deal with what solicitors (and barristers) need to be doing to comply with the new regime and to ensure that they do not fall foul of it.
