NLJ this week: Fixed costs, ADR & elephants

145200
The latest word on fixed recoverable costs plus a (potentially seismic) prediction for Christmas feature in NLJ’s The Insider column this week by Professor Dominic Regan of City Law School  

Regan writes: ‘It is inevitable that 107 pages of measures will generate teething problems. Costs management, now an everyday occurrence, endured a grim childhood.’

The Insider is reassuringly optimistic about the future of fixed recoverable costs. He also tips some rising legal superstars, as well as highlighting the admirable deeds of some lawyers who have raised funds for charity and even helped bring about a change in the law to tackle the cruel exploitation of animals abroad.
