These are my standard terms:

1. Fees are to be calculated at £285 per hour for the time spent on or in connection with the Adjudication, including but not limited to time spent on administration travelling and reading documents and submissions and attending meetings.
2. All disbursements (including the cost of such legal or other advice as I may, at my ultimate discretion but after consultation with the parties, think it fit to take) to be charged at cost.
3. All fees and expenses to be subject to the addition of Value Added Tax at the appropriate rate.
4. Any documents supplied by the Parties will be disposed of 48 days after the date of my decision, or returned to the party who supplied the documents on written request.

6. The Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for my fees and expenses including those of any legal or technical adviser, but I may direct the Parties to pay all or part of the fees and expenses. The Party requesting the adjudication is liable for my fees and expenses if the adjudication does not proceed.
7. I, my employees and agents, are not liable to the parties for an action or failure to take action in the adjudication unless the action or failure to take action is in bad faith.
8. The parties indemnify me, my employees and agents against claims, compensation and costs arising out of my decision unless the decision was made in bad faith.

*Appendix 1 to Standard Terms

Daniel Atkinson holds the degree of barrister, but does not have a practising certificate because he does not comply with the Bar Council's rules for practising barristers. This limits the work which he is allowed to do. It also limits the rights you will have against him and against the Bar Council. He cannot appear in court or conduct litigation or immigration work. Daniel Atkinson is not fully regulated by the Bar Council. This means that, although the Bar Council can consider a complaint against him, it cannot require him to pay you compensation for inadequate professional service. The Bar Council will also not pay you compensation itself for any wrongdoing on his part. Full details are given at www.barcouncil.org.uk.
