C1Procedure for assessing costsI1C144.7

Where the court orders a party to pay costs to another party (other than fixed costs) it may either—

a

make a summary assessment of the costs; or

b

order detailed assessment of the costs by a costs officer,

unless any rule, practice direction or other enactment provides otherwise.

(The costs practice direction sets out the factors which will affect the court’s decision under this rule)
