JG's application to the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal HHJ Soole's judgment in the matter of Parvez was dismissed.

That effectively closed the door on having any invoices raised to comply with the Solicitors Accounts Rules 17.2 assessed as the bill.

Remember - its the total base fee that the success fee is calculated to.

NOT the recovered costs from the defendant - which in a fixed costs regime for certain types of work is tiny.

Hourly rate bills stop this game dead.
