Costs Appeals - LSC wrong again?

In an article published in Resolution’s “e-News”, Murray Heining, Chair of the Association of Costs Lawyers Legal Aid Committee, has reported that the LSC appear to be using out of date standard letters in relation to the time limits and procedure for Costs Appeals.

The correct procedure is to appeal to an Independent Costs Assessor within 28 days, which can be extended for good reason. It can be found at paragraphs 8.48 – 8.66 in the Unified Contract Specification.
