Pleased that another one of our cases has been picked up by the legal press.

“If the defendant, as it does, claims the right to retain all of the money received by it for the claimant’s costs and disbursements, then it must render a complete and final bill which includes them.”

A most welcome decision from Master Leonard in the Senior Courts Costs Office. If a solicitor is retaining money in respect of fees, even where part of those fees have been met by an opponent, you are entitled to a final bill containing all costs and disbursements, so that you can see how the part payable by you is calculated.
