Happy New Year and all of us at LPG wish you a very successful and profitable one at that! Talking of which, welcome to the first edition of #ATEMatters for 2023 where our good friend, David Chalk, gives us his thoughts on the latest key topics, decisions and judgments affecting the world of Commercial and other litigation and funding.
We start this month with a very interesting look at the effect of taking security for solicitor costs on their entitlement to equitable lien. An appeal hearing next following a decision an application for detailed costs assessment was time-barred given it was made more than a year after costs had been paid. This edition is finished off with three case judgments all involving the ubiquitous issue of Part 36.
As always, please do get in contact if you have any comments on #ATEMatters or would like any assistance with ATE insurance or litigation funding.
As an aside, if you know of any colleagues running or looking to run Business Energy and/or other undisclosed commission claims, do please ask them to get in touch as we would love the opportunity to have a chat about how we may be able to help.
