Factors that could make a case more complex:
There will be an additional charge for attending a Tribunal Hearing of approximately £1,400.00 – 1,800.00 per day (excluding VAT). Generally, we would allow 1-3 days depending on the complexity of your case.
In some cases it may be cost effective and efficient to instruct counsel (a barrister) to represent you at the hearing. Their fees are subject to confirmation depending on the experience of the advocate for attending a Tribunal hearing (including preparation).
If you wish to instruct a barrister (counsel) for your hearing, we can still do so on your behalf.
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
After issue, there follow many subsequent steps in the preparation of the claim for trial. It may be that we are able to reach a settlement of your claim at any time.
The key stages of the process include:
The stages set out above are an indication and if some of the stages above are not required, the fee will be reduced. You may wish to handle the claim yourself and only have our advice in relation to some of the stages. This can also be arranged on your individual needs.
Costs for this work will depend on the time taken at the hourly rate of our fee-earner dealing with the case. Depending on the complexity of the case, this work could take between 20-30 or even more hours to complete. We can give a better estimate in your case once we have performed an initial case assessment.
If your budget is very tight, we can work on an “advisory” basis so that you retain us for advice on how to conduct your case on an ad hoc basis, as and when you need it. You will have ultimate responsibility for conducting it and complying with procedural rules and deadlines.
Our fees will be lower and we can work within the budget that you set.
The time that it takes from taking your initial instructions to the final resolution of your matter depends largely on the stage at which your case is resolved. If a settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take about 4 weeks. If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take 5-7 months. This is just an estimate and we will, of course, be able to give you a more accurate timescale once we have more information and as the matter progresses.
