BUDGETING

The Court of Appeal is to hear the TROY FARMS case on May 2nd. Moore-Bick LJ is sitting and the Senior Costs Judge will act as adviser to the Court.
At issue is the correct approach to this important new exercise. The Judge had allowed a rate of £350 an hour for a senior junior , stating that whilst the amount was very much at the top end it did not cause him to shake his head in horror .
Let us hope that , unlike HENRY , the court will seize the opportunity to give decent guidance .
