This Practice Note covers the different options for funding clinical negligence claims including legal aid, conditional fee agreements (CFAs), and damages based agreements (DBAs). It also discusses costs including what can be recovered and qualified one-way cost shifting (QOCS).

This Practice Note deals with provisions for the payment of costs orders, considers the differences depending on whether the costs order includes a time limit for payment and provides guidance on the expression and calculation of time limits. It also considers when a costs order can be enforced, whether a costs order can be stayed or deferred and whether a stay of execution of a costs order can be set aside. This Practice Note also considers whether an extension of time can be obtained to comply with a costs order.

This Practice Note contains guidance on the help with court fees (sometimes known as the fee remission) scheme and provides an overview of the eligibility criteria applied, both in terms of an applicant’s savings and their income levels. It also considers appealing a refusal of help with fees and the impact of the availability of the scheme on recoverable costs.
