(2) The general rule is that—
(a)the court must order a detailed assessment of the costs payable by, or out of money belonging to, any party who is a child or protected party; and
(b)on an assessment under paragraph (a), the court must also assess any costs payable to that party in the proceedings, unless—

(ii)the costs are payable in proceedings to which Section II or Section III of Part 45 applies.
(3) The court need not order detailed assessment of costs in the circumstances set out in [F2paragraph (5) or in] Practice Direction 46.
(4) Where—
(a)a claimant is a child or protected party; and
(b)a detailed assessment has taken place under paragraph (2)(a),
the only amount payable by the child or protected party is the amount which the court certifies as payable.
[F3(5) Where the costs payable comprise only the success fee claimed by the child’s or protected party’s legal representative under a conditional fee agreement or the balance of any payment under a damages based agreement, the court may direct that—
(a)the assessment procedure referred to in rule 46.10 and paragraph 6 of Practice Direction 46 shall not apply; and
(b)such costs be assessed summarily.]
