"...To answer your question though, the guideline rates are just that. "

Ok. We are thankfully at least making some headway. Come down on to the Red Mat and tell us what you did last weekend.

"...They are not tramlines. Their purpose is to guide .."

Errrr. Yes. And the first question is proportionality.

For a small rear end shunt, what is the quantum and what is the amount to be reduced. Can I claim £147,000 Credit Hire for a £2000 accident with no apparent whiplash?

Then, go into the hourly rate.

Strange really that Cost Judges have been doing that for 900 years (that is since 1189, which is the official date of 'time immemorial' , and the most modern comprehension, of the commencement of our Legal System. and that or that this approach was only put on the radar by Woolf / Jackson.

"...Simply put, the guideline rates do not apply in cases of this nature. ..."

Simply put, yes they do. If a Trainee would be paid and o the work cheaper, as Cook has always intimated, there is a challenge and therefore then to the blanket reduction of 25%.

Scruff.
