SUPREME COURT OF ENGLAND AND WALES

COUNTY COURTS, ENGLAND AND WALES

The amendment of section 51(2) of the Supreme Court Act 1981 on the entry into force of section 31 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 allows rules of court to be made “for securing that the amount awarded to a party in respect of the costs to be paid by him to [legal or other] representatives is not limited to what would have been payable by him to them if he had not been awarded costs”—in other words, rules which limit or regulate the so-called indemnity principle.
