In this episode the limited progress with Third Party Funding since the legislation aimed at overturning PACCAR failed to make it through before the pre-election dissolution of Parliament. We also touch on some interesting cases that feature a broad brush approach to payments on account of costs and a discussion of hourly rates in the context of remote working. The PodCost wraps up with a review of Nick's and Practico's involvement in what is likely to be the costs case of the year - the budgeting hearings in the Pan-NOx Diesel Emissions collective actions.
