Apart from the estimates, better control ought to be imposed on some of the actual costs charged. I advised on a case recently where the other side was represented by a large Cardiff practice. Some of the bill presented ran a bit as follows:

Senior partner "Good morning junior partner. Any progress to report on X v Y?'

Junior partner "Good morning senior partner, no nothing to report on X v Y today".

And then both would charge for 6 minutes work, or as they like to disguise it, 'one unit'.

It is a con and a disgrace to this profession.
