Quote: JACK DETH "To be fair to HCC would the people of Hull be happy seeing tens of thousands of pounds being used on legal fees and expensive lawyers, when services across the city are being cut to the bone?'"
Much of the cost would be notional rather than actual as the council has its own legal department so wouldn't have to pay solicitors fees. The main expense would be the cost of instructing external barristers and paying the court fees.
