uplift fee definition
An uplift fee is an additional cost I may charge expressed as a percentage of my total legal costs. It is not a percentage of the amount you receive if you settle your case or are awarded a sum by the court. The details of the uplift fee are set out in paragraph 7 below.ection 3.4.28 of the Act provides for the payment of a premium on legal costs (or an âuplift feeâ). The uplift fee must be no more than 25% of the legal costs otherwise payable.
