E-raamat: Friston on Costs

This is the fourth edition of the leading authority on the law and practice of civil costs. It has been substantially revised to accommodate changes in the law and is an essential resource for judges, solicitors, counsel, and other costs practitioners.

Friston on Costs is the acclaimed and often-cited authority on the law of costs. Separated into sixteen well-defined and easily navigable parts, this substantial and encyclopaedic text covers all aspects of the law of civil costs from funding and contracts of retainers, all the way through to the assessment of costs (both between opposing parties and between solicitor and client). The fourth edition has been updated to take into account the considerable number of authorities on this difficult and technical topic. Areas of interest to specialists have also been expanded upon, such as the recoverability of the costs of inquests, the costs of solicitors who act in their own cause, and disclosure of litigation funding. Friston features thorough cross-referencing throughout, enabling the user to easily locate answers to even the most complex of costs issues. It is an invaluable resource for costs judges, academics, and practitioners alike. Companion website: www.oup.com/friston
