SCCO Guide to Summary Assessment

It is hoped to publish a revised guide early in the New Year to include hourly rates up to 1 December 2000. The revised guide will include guidance in relation to funding arrangements and will also include guideline figures for counsel’s fees for hearings up to one hour and up to half a day in the Queen’s Bench Division, Chancery Division and Administrative Court and in respect of junior counsel up to five years call, between five and ten years call and over ten years call. There will also be a section on summary assessment of costs in the Court of Appeal, including, it is hoped, guideline figures for counsel’s fees in the Court of Appeal.
