4 thoughts on “Hourly rates for costs draftsmen”
Perhaps this can be used as persuasive authority in Detailed Assessment!
Whilst no doubt someone will write to the MOJ and allege breach of the Indemnity Principle and Mis-certification given the above error, plus the miscalculation of vat at item 31, the fact the “assistant solicitor” claims obvious Grade B Band 1 rates but was grade C throughout……
shouldnt we, as professional draftsmen, be rather embarrassed and the quality and content of this bill which is being held out as the “Model” form of bill we should give to the legal profession??
Well it is a “model” of many bills I see with calculation errors and level of fee earner claimed. 🙂
Good thing the rate is not aligned with Grade C “since costs are a technical matter, and matters such as the operation of the indemnity principle need more experience than a Grade D fee earner is likely to possess”.
Clearly a little too technical for our friend here.
