Description

Fixed costs in personal injury do not always provide the clarity that may be hoped for. Even if your case is a straightforward one, this book will ensure you correctly calculate the fixed costs payable in claims that start life under the various protocols and portals for road traffic accidents, employers and public liability claims and travel sickness claims, whether they remain in the portal or exit it.

This book brings together in one place important rules scattered across the Civil Procedure Rules from the Protocols, Part 36, Part 44 and Part 45 Sections III and IIIA as well as supporting case law.

The book will help you know if a point has been determined or only been dealt with in the County Court. As well as helping with which points remain arguable, the book will also help identify the arguments that may be deployed for each side, pending any binding authority.
