NLJ this week: Guideline hourly rates revisited

40737
Following the first change to the guideline hourly rates in ten years, Julian Chamberlayne, chair of the Forum of Complex Injury Solicitors, considers the recommendations for London, the national bandings and the enhancement factors. 

In the second of a three-part series for NLJ, Chamberlayne casts a critical eye on the methodology and data behind the recommendations and asks whether the Civil Justice Council may be willing to consider more recent data at this late stage in the consultation. He questions whether the proposed rates offer a large enough increase.
