Solicitors to urge merits of expert`s fees - 1988 - Independent 12/7/88 p8 .

In Cementation Construction Ltd v Keaveney , QBD 8 July 1988, it was held that an expert engaged by a legally aided defendant on terms that his fees would be restricted to the amount allowed on taxation,and who was dissatisfied with a taxing officer`s decision, had no right to be heard at the taxation. However, a solicitor could properly apply for authority to carry in objections on behalf of the expert or apply to the judge for review on the expert`s behalf.
