Mastercigars Direct Ltd v Withers LLP [2007] EWHC 2733 (Ch)
“A solicitors’ costs estimate was relevant on a detailed assessment of costs as a useful yardstick, by which the reasonableness of costs could be measured, and on the issue of reliance by a client on that estimate. It was not correct that unless a client was notified of the further sums payable, preferably before they were incurred, the solicitor would be unable to recover costs in excess of the estimated amount.”
