Expert support for QOCS & costs disputes
View All Services

At Your Legal Costs we understand that anything can happen in litigation. Costs orders can sometimes be made against claimants, and bills of costs may be presented equal to or exceeding the value of the claim – for example, following an interlocutory application.

Many claims are brought by defendants in ignorance of the Qualified One-Way Costs Shifting (QOCS) rules or the fixed costs offset provisions. Alternatively, some claims are pursued under the so-called “escape” clauses within the QOCS scheme.

Your Legal Costs and our Advocates have extensive experience in reassuring and guiding clients through these complexities, ensuring that, where liability arises, it is kept to the absolute minimum necessary.
