The current guideline hourly rates have not changed since 2010. A long awaited review was announced last year and a Civil Justice Council working group was established. For more details of the working group see https://www.judiciary.uk/related-offices-and-bodies/advisory-bodies/cjc/working-parties/guideline-hourly-rates/
The working group has now published their report and you can find it here.
The working group’s recommendations are set out below.
The consultation is open until 31st March 2021 at 4pm. You can respond online here
