Since its publication in 1991, "Cook on Costs" has been a celebrated authority on this fundamental area of solicitor's practice. The need for a second edition has now been warranted by considerable and essential developments in case law and revisions in the scales of costs. Within its comprehensive structure, all rules, statutes, and regulations governing costs are thoroughly examined, together with useful examples of their implementation and consequences. It is liberally illustrated by many cases not found in the law reports, and includes verbatim extracts from important judgements. Only criminal cases are excluded. This definitive guide is both user friendly and foolproof in its composition, equipping the reader with a complete understanding of remuneration and thereby financially benefiting any practice in possession of a copy. Furthermore, its entertaining style has often been proclaimed as "a joy to read". This is a book for every solicitor's office.
