civil procedure rules
Cost capping orders
22 October 2008
Browne Jacobson handles a wide variety of high value claims,
including claims proceeding under Group Litigation Orders. Such

We have significant experience of advising clients in relation
to costs capping, but there is presently an unsatisfactory degree
of uncertainty as to when such orders will be granted. We therefore
welcome the introduction of rules outlining when a costs cap is
appropriate and setting out the procedure to obtain one.
