6 thoughts on “Unfair charging method”
nice self plug
one wonders how much was down to simple rates and success fees
An interesting posting from Simon and an excellent result.
He obviously didn`t read what must have been a large client file.
Was that wise?
I would guess you are working on an hourly rate and have settled this well before Points of Dispute?
Cases like this are fantastic for % of saving agreements but sometimes you do get the smaller ones that require extensive work and end up putting you at a loss! So maybe that’s a saving grace?
Ahmed v Powell anyone?…
Think that was probably Simon’s point.
I like to describe myself as ”reassuringly expensive”
Many years ago, pre Ahmed, we reduced a bill from £655,000 to £60,000 and we charged 15% of saving. Oh they were happy days!!!! Simon u really must increase your charge out rate! Now tell us about the ones you lost and cost your clients dearly!!
