The Chancery Bar Association has published a detailed 88-page response to the preliminary Jackson Review into civil litigation costs. It recommends that judges take a greater role in case management and make more “bold” decisions about direction, scope of disclosure, witness statements and suchlike. It cautions against extending the current range of fixed costs as this would impose an unfair burden on successful litigants.
