Mr Smith’s Fees
Mr Smith’s Fees
It is convenient to consider at this stage a counterclaim/contracharge put forward by J&BH for the fees charged by Mr Smith.
This concerns the fees charged by Mr Smith for rendering his Decision in the sum of £13,962.
When I rendered my judgment enforcing Mr Smith’s decision, I ordered in the usual way that A & V should pay his fees in the usual way.
That judgment was subsequently stayed by me pending this trial and judgment following that trial.
In this judgment I have reached a different conclusion as to the balance due between the Parties from that reached by Mr Smith.
In my judgment, as with Mr Blizzard’s fees, the appropriate course to adopt is to invite the submissions of the Parties on this head of claim after they have had the opportunity to consider this judgment.
