• The applicable principles when dealing with solicitor client costs at detailed assessment;

• The current ‘hot topic’ being Belsner v Cam Legal Services and the decision affecting deduction from damages;

• Following on from Belsner, having been heard concurrently, the decision in Karatysz v SGI Legal LLP relating to “amount of the bill”;

• A judgment for your injury litigation colleagues to take note of, looking at the impact of QOCS on mixed claims;

• Finally this month, the Clinical Negligence matter of Riley v Salford Royal NHS Trust and an interesting take on mitigation of loss.
