How to Challenge a Costs Budget - Top Tips & Practical Guidance

Introduction

You have been served with a costs budget by your opponent, but what to do next?

Do you have to object? Should you object and won’t it undermine your own budget?

This new virtual classroom seminar is aimed at those dealing with multi-track litigation, who already have some familiarity with costs management.
