Costs are usually awarded by a court to a successful party on the basis that costs follow the event, pursuant to s169 Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 and Order 99 rule 2 RSC. The court may for whatever reason, seek to limit those costs to a specific date or a percentage of full recovery. The Legal Costs Adjudicators have held that where an order provides for the adjudication of costs to a specific date, the party presenting the bill of costs may not recover the costs of adjudication as they were incurred post the date referred to on the order of the court. Whether this may include court duty at 8% (payable following adjudication ) is currently being debated.
