Mr Paul Behan was appointed Taxing Master of the High Court in 2017 and was later appointed Chief Legal Costs Adjudicator with the commencement of the Legal Services Regulation Act in 2019. Mr Behan has the distinction of being the state’s last Taxing Master, a long and historic office, and indeed he is the first Legal Costs Adjudicator. The changes to this area of Irish law were seismic and required a person of great experience at the helm. We wish Chief Legal Costs Adjudicator Behan all the very best on his impending retirement.
