It is likely that, at some point, you will be involved in a dispute that ends in court proceedings; for example, where payment of an invoice has not been received, or the services provided under a contract were not quite as expected.
Most will be aware of the significant restrictions placed on recovering costs where the claim is allocated to the Small Claims track (usually where the value of the claim is under £10,000). Businesses may feel that they are prevented from seeking the money that they are rightfully due because the current costs provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules make a claim more expensive and time-consuming that it is worth.
However, are you aware of a recent development in case law in this area that potentially provides a mechanism to allow you to recover your legal costs in small claims?
In this webinar, our speakers will guide you through the decision made in Chaplair Limited v. Kumari [2015], its implications going forward and some practical considerations of what changes are needed in your business to benefit from this decision and maximise recovery of your legal costs.
Gareth Raisbeck, Associate Solicitor and Barrister, brings a wealth of knowledge and considerable practical experience to this evolving issue. James Attew is a solicitor with a significant background in commercial litigation, specialising in this area since qualifying as a solicitor in 2012.
