Opposition of Party and Party Bills of Costs

 

If costs are awarded against you whether it be from a Motion, Discovery or the Costs of the entire matter, you are entitled to receive a proper Party and Party Bill of Costs.

 

Often, the Party & Party Bill of Costs might seem excessive or unreasonable.

 

For instance, costs may not be recoverable if incurred or increased through over caution, negligence, or mistake. Similarly costs incurred by payment of special fees to Counsel or special charges or expenses to witnesses or other persons may not be reasonable.

 

DFG Legal Cost Accountants are prepared to act on your behalf by reducing the Party & Party Bill of Costs through negotiation or by representing you before the Taxing Master or County Registrar.

 

Once we have received the Bill of Costs we shall meticulously analyse the following with a view of reducing the costs awarded against you:

 

1. Schedule Costs;

2. Motion Costs;

3. Instructions Fee;

4. Brief Fee;

5. Brief Fee for Motions;

6. Refresher Briefs;

7. Discovery;

8. Drafting;

9. Attendances;

10.    Witness Fees; and

11.    Medical Reports.
