I have posted the following comment to this Gazette coverage of the “second meeting” saga;
We wrote this PoP application for North East clients. The correspondence to the firm contained the Committee minute and the text of CLA 54 but not the guidance, as published. We too feel that point 1 of the guidance – which contains the time bar – is not enforceable and wonder if it was even written by the Cost Appeal Committee. We are aware of firms beginning the process of challenging this and have some generic grounds for those seeking to try and reopen any previously made recoupments.
