Misconduct and effect on costs

Resource type: Practice note

Status: Maintained

Jurisdictions: England, Wales

This practice note considers the effect of a party's misconduct on costs in litigation. It outlines the conduct leading to a penalty in costs and advises when to raise points of conduct. Note that there are separate practice notes on wasted costs (for costs orders against a party's legal representative), indemnity costs (which are often awarded for unreasonable conduct)  and costs and non-parties to litigation.
