Party Litigants

If we are not informed until after the hearing date and there is a difficulty in obtaining payment from the litigant, then the firm who instructed our services will be liable to the settle the full costs for this instruction.

Our terms of payment are strictly 30 days from date of invoice.

Late payment charges (including interest) will be applied in accordance with our statutory rights.

Please note: Once you have confirmed that you would like to instruct our services, this instruction is an agreement between Larking Hodge Pollock and your company, with fees payable in accordance with OCR 29.18. Unfortunately, we cannot delay settlement of our invoices due to your client not settling the fees.
