Recent Work

Merrix v Heart of England Foundation Trust 2017

When the Bill of Costs submitted for this case was less than the Court-approved Costs Budget, we argued that the Court shouldn’t deviate from an approved Budget without a good reason.

Chad Mole v Parkdean Holiday Parks Ltd

We successfully defended a challenge against our legal costs when the Official Solicitor took over the role of litigation friend of our infant client.
