Rule 60 Procedure where detailed assessment requiredI1
England and Wales
Before making a detailed assessment of the costs of any person employed in PPP administration proceedings by a special PPP administrator, the costs officer shall require a certificate of employment, which shall be endorsed on the bill and signed by the special PPP administrator.
The certificate shall include—
the name and address of the person employed;
details of the functions to be carried out under the employment; and
a note of any special terms of remuneration which have been agreed.
Every person whose costs in PPP administration proceedings are required to be decided by detailed assessment shall, on being required in writing to do so by the special PPP administrator, commence detailed assessment proceedings in accordance with CPR Part 47 (procedure for detailed assessment of costs and default provisions).
If that person does not commence detailed assessment proceedings within 3 months of the requirement under paragraph (3), or within such further time as the court, on application, may permit, the special PPP administrator may deal with the assets of the PPP company without regard to any claim by that person, whose claim is forfeited by such failure to commence proceedings.
Where in any such case such a claim lies additionally against a special PPP administrator in his personal capacity, that claim is also forfeited by such failure to commence proceedings.
