The Ministry of Justice is preparing to extend fixed recoverable costs for a wide range of civil cases, the Gazette can reveal.
Today’s Transforming our Justice System consultation paper, published by lord chancellor Liz Truss, includes a section dedicated to civil justice which states that the recoverable costs regime will be extended.

These measures will build on the system already in place to limit recoverable costs for personal injury claims and will extend fixed costs to ‘as many civil cases as possible’.
The consultation says: ‘These measures provide transparency and certainty for all parties and are designed to ensure that the amount of legal work done is proportionate to the value of the claim.’
The plans appear to be in line with calls from Lord Justice Jackson (pictured) earlier this year for an extension of fixed recoverable costs to all civil cases.
