4. SUCCESSFUL NSW REVIEW APPLICATION YIELDS
86% RECOVERY FOR CLIENT
• Our instructing solicitor acted for
the Defendant in the substantive
proceedings seeking judgment for
possession of land, as well as
leave to issue a Writ of
Possession. These proceedings
were successfully defended,
securing an order for costs on the
ordinary basis.
5. COMMENCING A COSTS ASSESSMENT
• Section 198 of the Legal Profession
Uniform Law (LPUL) stipulates that if
a solicitor or client wishes to
commence a costs assessment, they
must do so within 12 months of the
‘final’ invoice. S 198(4) LPUL enables
a client to make an application
outside the 12 month timeframe, but
it does not afford the same benefit to
a law firm
6. Compliance with Costs Disclosure under
the Uniform Law
• Rose Legal Costing (RLC) has
successfully set aside the determination
of a costs assessor, through the Review
Application process, due to a law firm’s
failure to comply with their disclosure
requirements. RLC received instructions
from a lay client who had previously
instructed the Review Respondent law
firm to act on his behalf in respect of a
Workers Compensation matter.
