Hourly rates

Costs Committee calls for evidence on GHR

Lawyers have been asked for their views on guideline hourly rates (GHR) for 2014.

The Costs Committee of the Civil Justice Council has called for evidence on the GHR, which are used to calculate recoverable hourly rates in litigation for different grades of fee earners in law firms in different parts of England and Wales. 

Fee earners are asked to complete this survey before 29 November 2013.

Mr Justice Foskett, the committee’s chair, says: “It is vital that we hear from as many firms and practitioners as possible so that the evidence base for our recommendations is as accurate and representative as possible.”
