Friston on Costs
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-286908-1 (ISBN)
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.
Dr Mark Friston of Hailsham Chambers in London has practised costs law for over 25 years. He is widely recognised as a leading expert on costs and has a particular interest in transactional costs (namely, the contractual aspects of costs and funding, and investment in legal services in general). He has also sat as Deputy Master in the Senior Courts Costs Office for more than a decade.
