ALDRED -V- CHAM: PERMISSION TO APPEAL REFUSED BY THE SUPREME COURT

In November last year I reported on the case of  Aldred -v- Cham [2019] EWCA Civ 1780, in relation to the recoverability of counsel’s fees in child approval cases.

I am grateful to Matthew Hoe from Taylor Rose who informs me that permission to appeal that decision was refused by the Supreme Court. Matthew states:-

“Lords Hodge, Briggs and Leggatt said in today’s order that ‘ the application does not raise a point of law of general public importance which ought to be considered at this time.’ But the order adds ‘The panel expressed the view that it is appropriate that the Civil Procedure Rule Committee consider this matter’.”
