Kings Chambers‘ ’costs team is without doubt a formidable force‘. Kevin Latham heads the costs practice, and is ’very knowledgeable about the law but also commercial and practical‘. Latham appeared before the Court of Appeal in Thakkar & Ors v Mican & Anor, which concerned whether a claimant accused of bringing a fundamentally dishonest personal injury claim by the defendant should be awarded indemnity costs against said defendant if the allegation of fundamental dishonesty fails. Paul Hughes is ’a determined and tenacious advocate‘ with ’a wealth of experience and unparalleled costs knowledge‘. Erica Bedford ’has a towering intellect‘ and specialises in costs law, with particular expertise in handling costs cases concerning personal injury, clinical negligence and commercial litigation. John Meehan joined the team in May 2024.
