Legal Terms - Cost evaluation
The process by which the amount of expenses owed by one party to another, or owed by a client to their solicitor, is decided.
by a court official. Prior to the implementation of the Civil Procedure Rules in 1999, this process was referred to as the taxation of costs. Assessments can be categorized as either concise or comprehensive. In a summary assessment, the court calculates the exact amount that must be paid immediately after the hearing concludes. In this case, the court has the authority to request any proof that is now accessible (such as a brief fee) in order to ascertain the exact amount. The type of assessment described here is the most favored approach in fast track trials. Summary evaluation can exclusively be conducted by the judge who presided over the case at the relevant period. On the other hand, a comprehensive evaluation entails the calculation of expenses for a *costs officer, who evaluates the amount at a later point in time, following the hearing. District judges in the county courts mostly conduct thorough evaluations, while the Senior Courts Costs Office is specifically responsible for conducting detailed assessments in the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
