Legal cost agreement claims
If you have engaged a legal practitioner to provide law services on your behalf you may have a disagreement about the cost agreement you made with them.
You may believe that the cost agreement was not fair or reasonable because, for example:
- you were induced to enter into the agreement and were given misleading or fraudulent information at the time, or
- the lawyer has behaved in an unsatisfactory way in relation to the services outlined in the agreement.
If you wish to have a legal cost agreement set aside you may apply to the courts or to QCAT.
