520			_aTensions have arisen between solicitors and lay advocates as a result of the trend to arbitration as an alternative to litigation. In the arbitration case "Piper Double Glazing Ltd v DC Contracts", counsel representing D, the defeated defendant, asserted that only a solicitor`s charges, advocate`s fees and the cost of litigants in person could be recovered by taxation at the High Court. P, the plaintiffs, were represented by James R Knowles and were therefore not eligible. The court rejected this argument and awarded costs.
