Conditional fee agreements entered into from 1 April 2013: costs assessments | Practical Law
This practice note looks at assessments of costs in litigation when there is a CFA. It applies to CFAs entered into on or after 1 April 2013, with a few exceptions (the excepted cases). It does not cover the situation where disputes are settled without litigation or without costs being assessed. In those situations, the parties are free to agree the amounts of costs to be paid.
