Temple Garden Chambers has a strong reputation for its experience handling significant costs disputes arising from collective redress and commercial litigation, with members also regularly sought after for their advisory knowledge by solicitors, litigation funders and insurers. In the High Court case of Giaquinto & Ors v ITI Capital, Mark James acted for the claimants in an application to vary an order for security for costs; raising difficult questions about the extent to which a judge could reopen a previous order. James Laughland  represented the respondent in Mundy v TUI Ltd, an appeal to the High Court on how to approach a case where parties make Part 36 offers of a different nature and each consider themselves successful.
