This is slightly off topic but now we are into the environment of fixed recoverable costs have the judges given any thought to what they mean when ordering "costs in the case " . A fast track RTA case may involve several listed interlocutory applications ( or indeed part 18 or 35 questions and the like ) involving substantial cost , if costs in the case are ordered does the judge intend the eventual loser to pay those in addition or are they included in the fixed costs ? Applying for additional costs is fraught with danger and sanctons and is subjective , there is no test .Has this fundamental issue been overlooked by our friend LJ Jackson?
