Very interestingly the opposing argument was advanced in July 2017 in the case of Conibear v Humphries Kirk Solicitors case JR1700516 of the 21st of July 2017 (unreported) before Master Rowely.

It is an obscure matter but you can get the judgment from Check My Legal Fees. Com Limited website – if you are quick.
It was argued by counsel (instructed by Deep Blue Costs no less – one of Mr Carlisle’s mighty organs), that the first invoice presented was the correct billing instrument, and not the second invoice presented.

Which is precisely the opposite argument advanced by Mr Carlisle in many matters. You cannot pick and choose was you say is the bill to be assessed. That is not your call.

A rare victory and the correct application of the law to the facts – no wonder it was kept low key.
