Legal Terms - Bullock order
A sort of cost allocation in civil proceedings that is occasionally granted when the claimant has reasonably sued two defendants but has only prevailed against one of them, according to the court's judgment. The order mandates that the claimant is responsible for covering the costs of the defendant who prevailed, but also permits the claimant to include these costs in the amount owed to them by the defendant who did not succeed. The order is named after the legal case Bullock v London General Omnibus Co [1907] 1 KB 264. It is important to differentiate it from a Sanderson order (as seen in the case Sanderson v Blyth Theatre Co [1903] 2 KB 533), when the defendant who loses the action is directly directed to pay the costs of the defendant who wins.
