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)
