London Bar > Costs Tier 2

Hailsham Chambers are a ‘go-to set for costs related matters’, where in addition to the highly regarded advocacy on major precedent-setting cases, members are valued for their advisory and drafting skills, frequently handling complex retainers and funding arrangements on which the recovery of millions of pounds of fees may depend. The ‘wonderful’ Jamie Carpenter KC successfully defeated a High Court appeal in Diag Human & Stava v Volterra Fietta, with the ruling that it was not possible to sever the hourly rate part of a retainer with an unenforceable success fee. Alexander Hutton KC acted for the appellant in Harrison v University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, with the Court of Appeal handing down a ruling in December 2022 that compensation as part of a settlement, like as part of an award of damages, cannot be set off against litigation costs in cases where qualified one-way costs shifting applies. At junior level, Joshua Munro faced senior opposition in McGuinness v Mawer, a long-running case that saw the High Court find that disclosure of a CFA is no longer the norm where there is no inter partes success fee.
