Good morning.
Can anyone advise me on how to bill a contested breach matter in the crown court.
We have a client who was summonsed to appear before the crown court for breach of a court order.
We obtained a rep order for breach proceedings.
The breach was denied and the case was set down for trial with directions.
The trial was adjourned whilst expert reports were obtained.
The defendant admitted the breach subsequently.
The LAA now refuse to treat this as a trial matter because the case is an “S” number.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards
Joan
