Over the last 12 months there have been numerous developments relating to costs, making this webinar essential viewing. We are delighted to have His Honour Michael Cook, author of Cook on Costs presenting on this dynamic topic. Apart from the government’s bill to implement Lord Justice Jackson’s CFA proposals, recently amended to include a ban on referral fees, the 57th Update to the Civil Procedure Rules, most of which came into force on 1st October 2011, has also made significant changes to costs. The Mercantile and TCC costs management pilots will now apply to all cases where the first case management conference is heard after 1st October 2011. The webinar will also review the other Jackson proposals and costs cases such as Trafigura and CvD, ensuring that you are fully up to date on all the recent and proposed developments.

This webinar covers:
- Implementing the Jackson Review of Civil Litigation Costs
- Implementing the Young Report Common Sense: Common Safety
- The costs pilot schemes
- Civil Procedure Rules updated
- Review of Recent Costs Decisions
