Detailed File Notes

 

 

 

When preparing file notes, record different aspects of work separately. For example, the time should be split between attendances, travel, preparing documents, preparing long letters, preparing file notes etc. It is difficult for the Costs Lawyer/ Draftsman to apportion the times between different types of work when global times for work are recorded, and difficult for the Costs Officer to assess.
