5 thoughts on “Costs lawyer's 100% success rate”
Maybe he’s quite good. Or maybe he settles some cases that perhaps he should have proceeded with – only taking dead certain ones to court.
Or maybe the recruitment agency made a typo.
If you are a claimant costs draftsman who practices in London this would not surprise me.
Or went to one detailed assessment 16 years ago and has never been back since…
Easy
1.Never fight any case to court
2. Always settle at an undervalue
3. 100% success rate over 16 years
If I was recruiting and wasfaced with that CV I would send the” Dear Sir I regret to inform you etc etc” letter.
Clearly not fighting his client’s cases so as to maximise costs ecovery on time expended
Very bad for business I would say
Depends on what you mean by 100% success in court.
I can quite categorically state that I have 100% success rate in both achieving costs of an action for my receiving party clients and 100% success rate in obtaining a reduction in costs of an action for by paying party clients.
Then again most costs draftsmen can claim the same, unless you are one of the unlucky ones, who suffered a CFA wipeout (though you could argue that you where successful in obtaining the disbursements) or had the DJ from hell who would not even take a couple letters off the costs sought.
