What Are the Main Components of Litigation Costs?

Litigation costs vary depending on the complexity of the matter and the amount of disclosure involved but can include:

• Solicitor and Barrister fees
• Court fees
• Expert opinion and reports
• Other disbursements (costs that cannot and do not include any element of profit for that party or for the solicitor acting for them)
• Costs associated with seeking permission to apply for Judicial Review

Appealing a decision can add to the costs of litigation; however, costs at the Court of Appeal tend to be lower than at the High Court, as much of the work has already been done. If permission to appeal is not granted by the High Court and must be sought, appeal costs can increase.

What Is a Part 36 Offer?

Part 36 offers refer to case settlement offers made pursuant to Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). They are designed to encourage settlement and protect those who make sensible offers from liability for the costs incurred in continuing proceedings to no ultimate advantage.

Part 36 offers can be made at any time during claim proceedings, including throughout the trial. They usually relate to monetary claims but can be used in other scenarios, such as dealing with declaratory actions. These offers must state a ‘relevant period’ in which they can be accepted, which cannot be less than 21 days.

Will My Dispute Go to Court?

It is unlikely as most civil litigation cases are resolved outside of court. While we are prepared to litigate, this is never our first response. We start by listening to understand how your dispute came to be and do everything possible to settle the argument through Alternative Dispute Resolution methods such as negotiation, mediation, adjudication (in relation to construction disputes), or arbitration.

Our Civil Litigation Solicitors do not rely on off-the-shelf solutions; our approach is always value-based. We constantly balance the value of the result you could achieve with the costs of accomplishing such an outcome and advise you on whether it is in your best interests to pursue a particular course of action.
