APPLYING TO VARY A COSTS BUDGET: RULES AND PROCEDURE: WEBINAR 19th MAY 2021

On the 19th  May 2021 I am presenting a webinar on applying to vary a costs budget.  Booking details are available here. 

WHAT THE WEBINAR COVERS

Making sure that the budget is, and remains, correct is an important part of a litigator’s job.  Knowing when and how a budget can be varied is an essential skill.

This webinar looks at the law, practice and procedure in relation to applying to vary a costs budget. It looks at the rules, the precedents and the significant cases that govern applications to vary costs budgets.

  • The relevant rules
  • What is a “significant development”?
  • What kind of “significant development” merits an alteration in the budget?
  • Why it is essential that an application is made promptly – promptness is a mandatory prerequisite
  • When does the revised budget start from
  • Why the court won’t budget retrospectively
  • Persuading the court to exercise its discretion
