Paul Hughes

Barrister @Kings Chambers

Manchester, GB

I specialise in the law of costs. Given my background in civil litigation, I have particular expertise in procedural law and the costs of actions based on negligence (such as personal injury, clinical negligence, etc), including group litigation. I am frequently instructed to deal with disputes concerning conduct, misconduct, wasted costs and non-party (third-party) costs orders, but also advise on managing \'broken retainers\' and disputes concerning the indemnity principle. I have appeared before the Courts from the County Court to Court of Appeal and have experience of advising on claims for costs in excess of £1m.
