Practice Directions Applicable to Criminal Appeals Contents


20. COSTS

General

20.1  If counsel seek an order other than that costs should be awarded to the successful party, they may make written submissions within 14 days of the conclusion of the hearing. One master plus seven copies of the written submissions must be lodged at the Judicial Office. Copies should also be sent to the other parties to the appeal.

Submissions at judgment

20.2  If submissions on costs have not been made pursuant to direction 20.1, it may be appropriate for submissions on costs to be made in the light of the result of the appeal. In such cases the House postpones making an order for costs in order to allow the parties to make written submissions, usually within 14 days of the date on which judgment is given. One master plus seven copies of the submissions must be lodged at the Judicial Office, and copies sent to the other parties to the appeal.

20.3  The costs submissions are considered on the papers alone.
