The latest "after representations" CCA result has just been notified to us. It includes a percentage reduction of the alleged over-claim of 43% and a cost saving of £36K on "recoupment". And yet I feel empty and disappointed and will probably have to go to Cost Committee (my last!).

I am cheered further by a fax from a firm we helped with another "successful" CCA appeal last year who have now been "failed" on a subsequent PR.

Both working in the same category - anyone care to guess which?

As I like to remind people we are working in the new world of "more constructive, genuine partnership relationships" and are all in this together.
