This Order extends the scope of the Litigants in Person (Costs and Expenses) Act 1975 to magistrates' courts in England and Wales. The effect is to allow a litigant in person in civil proceedings in magistrates' courts in whose favour an order for costs has been made to recover sums in respect of the work done by him in connection with the proceedings, and expenses and losses incurred.
