4 New Square Chambers remains a pre-eminent set in the costs and litigation funding space at the Bar. In a prominent matter, multiple members of the team, including Robert Marven KC and Matthew Waszak, appeared in the conjoined cases of JXX v (1) Archibald (2) Medical and Professional Services Limited and HLA v (1) LXA (2) EUI Limited (3) Premex Services Limited, concerning the assessment and recovery of Medical Reporting Organisations (MROs)' fees. It was decided that MRO fees are recoverable as disbursements, and the Senior Costs Judge imposed a 25% maximum recoverable uplift on experts' fees. Turning to the juniors, Pippa Manby is acting for the claimants in ongoing proceedings concerning the Municipio de Mariana v BHP Group (UK) Ltd case, a high-profile group litigation claim.
