Judicial accounts

When you win a case and are awarded expenses, preparing the judicial account is complex. Fee tables, additional charges and negotiation with the other side - all whilst the clock runs on payment.

What I do:

  • Prepare Sheriff Court Summary and Ordinary Cause judicial accounts of expenses
  • Prepare Court of Session judicial accounts of expenses
  • Calculate fees using judicial fee tables
  • Document additional charges and outlays
  • Support negotiation and adjustment of accounts with the other party
  • Prepare for and attend diets of taxation and assessment (as required)

Pricing

7% of net account value (minimum fees may apply)

  • £1,000 account = £70 + VAT
  • £5,000 account = £350 + VAT
