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.
