Fixed costs - rent possessions |
|
|
In relation to fixed costs in possession claims, does the amount of the
entitlement depend on the rent due when the claim is commenced, or is
it dependent on the rent due when the claim is heard in court?
The answer is that the fixed costs are now the same (ie whatever the
amount of the arrears, and whether the arrears have gone up or down
between commencement of the claim and the hearing of the claim). The
fixed allowance for the hearing is set by CPR 45.4A(1) and is currently
£57.25. See note in [2007] NLJ 854. © Practical Lawyer
