Society Concerned by Tight Deadline for Fixed Costs Consultation
The Law Society has welcomed the latest move to assess the impact of reforms widening the scope of civil cases subject to fixed recoverable costs, but expressed concern at the tight deadline for submissions.
The fixed costs regime was extended in October 2023 to cover most cases with a value up to £100,000.
Announcing an interim implementation stocktake, the Civil Procedure Rule Committee invited feedback as part of an evidence-gathering initiative conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice.
The consultation exercise will be followed by the MoJ’s full post-implementation review into the fixed recoverable costs regime, due to begin next year.
