48.8—[F1(1) This rule applies to every assessment of a solicitor’s bill to his client except a bill which is to be paid out of the Community Legal Service Fund under the Legal Aid Act 1988 or the Access to Justice Act 1999.]
[F2(1A) Section 74(3) of the Solicitors Act 1974 applies unless the solicitor and client have entered into a written agreement which expressly permits payment to the solicitor of an amount of costs greater than that which the client could have recovered from another party to the proceedings.]
(2) [F3Subject to paragraph (1A),] costs are to be assessed on the indemnity basis but are to be presumed—
(a)to have been reasonably incurred if they were incurred with the express or implied approval of the client;
(b)to be reasonable in amount if their amount was expressly or impliedly approved by the client;
(c)to have been unreasonably incurred if—
(i)they are of an unusual nature or amount; and
(ii)the solicitor did not tell his client that as a result he might not recover all of them from the other party.
[F4(3) Where the court is considering a percentage increase, whether on the application of the legal representative under rule 44.16 or on the application of the client, the court will have regard to all the relevant factors as they reasonably appeared to the solicitor or counsel when the conditional fee agreement was entered into or varied.
(4) In paragraph (3), “conditional fee agreement” means an agreement enforceable under section 58 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 at the date on which that agreement was entered into or varied.]
