Fixed recoverable costs regime from 1 October 2023
A Practice note providing an overview of the extended fixed recoverable costs (FRC) regime, which took effect from 1 October 2023. This Practice note examines the significant reforms to the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), particularly the rewriting of CPR 45, which expanded FRC to cover most civil claims valued up to £100,000. It details the introduction of the new intermediate track for cases between £25,000 and £100,000 and the application of FRC to all fast-track claims. This Practice note also considers the exceptions to the extended FRC regime and the impact of Part 36 offers in cases subject to FRC.
