That the client should not be surprised by the bill is ‘the essence of costs law’, NLJ columnist, Professor Dominic Regan of City Law School writes in his 'The insider' column this week.

However, some recent cases do indeed involve shocked clients, as he reveals. Regan also discusses the topics of witness statements and expert evidence, recounting a ‘naming-and-shaming judgment’ involving a zoo as well as another case in which ‘a well-respected partner in a major law firm was castigated, as was his witness’.

His column also covers caselaw where experts have come in for criticism.
