ABSTRACT
The court’s decision as to whether to allow costs for work undertaken on or after 26 April 1999 will generally be in accordance with the CPR costs rules (Parts 43 to 48). Any assessment of costs which takes place on or after 26 April will also be in accordance with Parts 43 to 48. However, there is a general presumption that no costs for work undertaken before 26 April 1999 will be disallowed if they would have been allowed under a costs taxation under the old rules (PD 51, para 18).
