Vouch Now

gozunda

Quick question - anyone know what does the term 'Vouch now' mean in relation to a claim of expenses in a personal action?

Is it a call for a full and verified account of expenses?
Or
The submission of each expense through actual receipts?

NoQuarter

Show them the receipt/invoice.

Ok - If their is a large volume of multiple receipt / invoices is it normal to use an actuary or verified financial professional In such instances

You should ask your solicitor what is expected.

It would be useful to say expense to date have been X, current expenses are Y, future expenses are expected to be Z, but that other expenses may occur that you will be claiming for.

Who mentioned "actuary or verified financial professional" and in what context? this would be a strong indication to get professional advice.

actuary

Insurance. a person who computes premium rates, dividends, risks, etc., according to probabilities based on statistical records.

This suggests a situation that will last long into the future. If this is the case, then having some such input would be important.

More the practical exercise of having a statement of verified expenses rather than half a ton of individual receipts delivered. This is what I believed was undertaken but I may have read that incorrectly. So all original receipts etc would normally be handed over on request.

Not related to any specific current case - I am reading through some case details and this was mentioned.

No. This is basically a bookkeeping task - produce the documents which evidence the various costs/expenses that you are asking to be reimbursed for. It's a tedious but low-skilled job.

Ok so - who would employ said low skilled individual?

It's up to the claimant to vouch their expenses.

If the claimant is a business, they probably have a bookkeeper or similar who is the natural person to do this.

If the claimant is an individual, they will normally do the work themselves. If they choose to, they can pay someone else to do it. The cost of employing someone else to do this work would not itself normally be an expense for which they would be reimbursed.

Thank you.
