Regulation 106 Agreement in respect of costs

Where, in proceedings to which an assisted person (or a former assisted person) has been a party and which have been brought to an end by a judgment, decree or final order, there has been an agreement as to the costs to be paid by any other party to the assisted person (or former assisted person) which that person’s solicitor and counsel (if any) is willing to accept in full satisfaction of the costs of the work done, the amount of those costs shall be assessed by the Area Director.

Where costs are to be assessed in the circumstances specified in paragraph (1), the Area Director may, if he thinks fit, request the taxing officer of the court in which the proceedings were conducted to assess the costs on the standard basis without a taxation.

Paragraphs (4) to (8) of regulation 105 shall apply where costs are assessed by an Area Director under paragraph (1) as they apply to an assessment under that regulation.
