I submitte an application for decree nisi and costs oder and the dJ ordered the parties to file statement within dyadic his order an ordered them to attend the hearing a few days later. The time limits for these steps, imposed by the Judge did not comply with the Rules. In effect, the case was listed before the paries had time to serve their statement and reply.
We hurriedly agree half the costs and e mailed the court to say the costs issue was agreed. The other side phoned and e mailed the court to confirm agreement and very clearly marked it URGENT for the hearing next day.Then we got a standard email saying they would deal with it within 10 days. The DJ was never given the e mails or made aware that the costs had been agreed. He made an Order for all the costs to be paid by the Respondent. What do I do now?These repeated muck ups are costing us and our clients money unnecessarily and unfairly and disproportionately. Can we get a costs order against the court? No.
