Details

Costs & Funding following the Civil Justice Reforms: Questions & Answers is a unique book. Produced in conjunction with Practical Law, this short and practical title tackles common practitioner questions on the effects of the 2013 Jackson reforms on costs and funding.

It sets out to answer questions posed on topics ranging from funding of litigation, case and costs management and proportionality to settlement offers, QOCS and summary assessment.

Each chapter starts with introductory commentary covering relevant legislation, case law and Lord Justice Jackson’s Review of Civil Litigation Costs: Final Report followed by the questions and answers.

Edited by former Senior Costs Judge Peter Hurst (a White Book author), with contributions from District Judge Simon Middleton (a White Book author) and barrister Roger Mallalieu, this is an authoritative and timely book that any practitioner involved with costs should find invaluable.
