The provisions relating to costs in criminal cases are extensive
and complex. Recent legislation - notably the Access to Justice Act
1999 and the regulations made under it - has brought about a
fundamental change in the way criminal costs and legal aid funding
work. There has been a continuing stream of statutory provisions
covering all aspects of Criminal Defence Service funding, recovery
of defence costs orders, and contribution orders. Lord Carter's
proposals for reform promise continuing developments in this field.
Practitioners need to have access to and an understanding of the
disparate array of materials relating to these matters as well as
costs out of Central Funds (defendants' costs orders) and the award
of costs in criminal cases. This new work explains the criminal
costs regime in a clear and accessible manner. It sets out the law
and practice governing the award of costs, practitioners' fees; the
principles on which fees are assessed as well as guidance on the
assessment process and appeals. The book guides practitioners
through applicable procedures in the Magistrates' Courts, the Crown
Court, the Divisional Court and the Court of Appeal. It explains
the criteria to be applied when the court is considering an award
of costs in criminal proceedings, or when it is dealing with
Criminal Defence Service funded work and Recovery of Defence Costs
Orders.
