Fixed costs apply to PAD applications in ex-protocol cases
The Court of Appeal has held fixed costs apply to pre-action disclosure (PAD) applications in cases that leave the personal
injury portals. The decision was made on the second appeal in Sharp v Leeds City Council [2017] EWCA Civ 33, following the
appellant making a PAD application as the respondent failed to comply with its disclosure obligations under the protocol.
