Jenny Wigley has recently been interviewed by Evelyn Reid from Lexis PSL, discussing ‘When can standard costs on liability orders be claimed?’

Following the decision in R (on the application of Reverand Nicolson) v Tottenham Magistrates, standard cost charges on non-payment liability orders can only be made if they are actually and reasonably incurred by the local authority. Jenny Wigley, member of No5 Chambers’ Planning and Environment Group, discusses the significance of the decision.
