PI revolution in a week: official
The guideline rates for summary assessment of civil and family costs have been uprated for inflation by 1.7% for work done after 31 March 2010 so, for example, band A London 1 fee earners will now attract £409 for each hour of their toil as against £217 in National 1 and £201 in National 2 areas. Well, it’s better than a kick in the rear—and even better than a salary freeze!
Patience, please...Judges are still summarily assessing costs in civil and family cases on the strength of interim hourly guideline rates which came into operation on 1 January 2009.
