Details

The Capped Cost List Pilot Scheme is a voluntary capped costs pilot operating in the Business and Property Courts in Leeds and Manchester (Chancery, Circuit Commercial and the Technology and Construction Court) and the London Circuit Commercial Court for cases valued up to £250,000. The pilot derives from Sir Rupert (formerly Lord Justice) Jackson’s Costs Review in which the terms of the pilot were published as part of Sir Rupert’s final report in the summer of 2017. Some amendments (notably the removal of provisions regarding appeals) have been made.

Download the fixed recoverable costs supplemental report for the pre-modified PD and further information regarding the related Jackson Reforms. See chapter 9, pages 122 to 125.

It is based on the capped costs regime in the Intellectual Property & Enterprise Court (IPEC).

The pilot will run for two years from 14 January 2019 to 13 January 2021.
