Costs and Costs Management in General in relation to the Technology and Construction Court

[rtbs name=”technology-and-construction-court”]All disputes as to costs will be resolved in accordance with Civil Procedure Rules Part 44, and in particular Civil Procedure Rules 44.2. The judge’s usual approach will be to determine which party can be properly described as ‘the successful party’, and then to investigate whether there are any good reasons why that party should be deprived of some or all of their costs. It should be noted that, in view of the complex nature of Technology and Construction Court cases, a consideration of the outcome on particular issues or areas of dispute can sometimes be an appropriate starting point for any decision on costs. As set out in paragraphs 5.1.6, 5.5.5 and 12.1.4 above, if the judge considers that any particular aspect is likely to or has led to unnecessarily increased costs, the judge may make a costs order disallowing costs or ordering costs to be paid, either on the basis of a summary assessment, or by giving a direction to the costs judge as to what costs should be disallowed or paid on a detailed assessment.
