Section 26: Challenging one's own lawyer's bill
Proposal 54
Procedures should be adopted to make challenges by clients to their lawyers' charges
subject to a test whereby the necessity for the work done, the manner in which it was done
and the fairness and reasonableness of the amount of the costs in relation to that work, are
all subject to assessment without any presumption that such costs are reasonable.
Proposal 54 (for introducing a new test for use in solicitor and own client taxations) should
not be adopted.
