    In this special edition we are delighted to be joined by Andrew Gordon-Saker, the Senior Costs Judge. Andrew is retiring at the end of October after 10 years as Senior Costs Judge and almost 30 years to the day since he was first appointed as a Deputy Taxing Master. The discussion provided us with a unique overview of the major developments in costs law and practice, particularly since the Jackson review, and Andrew's views on of the future direction of reforms and that are needed.

    2024-07-30 PodCost with Nick Bacon KC

    In this episode the limited progress with Third Party Funding since the legislation aimed at overturning PACCAR failed to make it through before the pre-election dissolution of Parliament. We also touch on some interesting cases that feature a broad brush approach to payments on account of costs and a discussion of hourly rates in the context of remote working. The PodCost wraps up with a review of Nick's and Practico's involvement in what is likely to be the costs case of the year - the budgeting hearings in the Pan-NOx Diesel Emissions collective actions.

Following a brief but inescapable update on the fallout from PACCAR, we take a deeper dive into the growing trend for challenges to solicitors' bills by their clients. Martyn provides some very practical advice to solicitors to avoid some of the more common pitfalls with unclear retainers and billing practice.

    2023-08-02 PodCost with Simon Teasdale

    Inevitably, given the timing, this episode features a deep dive into the Supreme Court's decision in PACCAR and what it means for litigation funding agreements at whatever stage the litigation has reached. Simon and Jeremy discuss the decision itself, what led to it, and how the decision is likely to play out, including the risks of attempting to sever the now non-compliant parts of a typical litigation funding agreement.
