Trial Judge Could Not Direct Costs Judge to Paragraphs in the Judgement
The Court of Appeal held that an Order given by the trial judge in which he directed the costs judge to assess costs by reference to six specified paragraphs in his judgment could not stand. As a matter of practise, it was undesirable for judges to enter into forms of order that could not stand on their own. In any event, the judge had failed to respond to an issue raised in relation to the construction of a consent order.
