Controlling Experts’ Fees: the End of the Long Piece of String - Mark Solon, Bond Solon

21/03/13. Since Lord Justice Jackson’s 2010 report into the costs of civil litigation the legal community has been discussing the far-reaching impact of costs cutting measures. As of 1 April 2013, many of those measures will start to bite as changes to the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) come into effect. The question is, who is ready?

The amendments, first circulated in February 2013, place time and money at the heart of the CPR. Proceedings are expected to be dealt with more quickly and overall costs to be reduced, both of which will have an impact on the way experts are instructed and are expected to account for their own costs.
