Lawyers acting for former clients of Slater and Gordon have gone to court to ask whether the national firm profited from undisclosed commissions on insurance policies.
The Senior Courts Costs Office today heard submissions for more than two hours on Friday in
Piper v Slater & Gordon following a request from the claimant. The request, under Part 18 of the civil procedure rules, was essentially inquiring whether Slater and Gordon received a commission or other financial benefit from after-the-event insurance policies signed as part of retainers with personal injury clients.
The
Gazette has previously reported that more than 100 claims have been brought by former Slater and Gordon clients, now represented by costs recovery business checkmylegalfees.com, in respect of ATE insurance deductions.
Litigation firms ‘expected’ to have links with costs lawyers
A Senior Courts Costs Office decision has emphasised that firms should employ costs lawyers or risk paying a heavy financial price.
The Association of Costs Lawyers (ACL) said a recent case should act as a warning to firms of the risk of failing to employ costs lawyers or having arrangements with external costs lawyers – “or at the very least not instructing them quickly when an issue arises”.
The failure of the paying parties in National Bank of Kazakhstan & Another v The Bank of New York Mellon & Ors to instruct costs lawyers promptly after the claimants successfully applied for a default costs certificate (DCC) meant no draft points of dispute were submitted to the court for the application to set aside the DCC.
