ABSTRACT
There are rates for the fixed costs allowed on issue of a claim and on entry of judgment where a party is represented by a solicitor.
Assessment (CPR Part 47)
The terms taxed costs and taxation are now redundant and have been replaced by assessment. Costs will either be assessed summarily, that is, there and then, or there will be a detailed assessment at some later stage where one party has been ordered to pay another’s costs.
