Queensland Consolidated Regulations

UNIFORM CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES 1999 - REG 702

702 Standard basis of assessment

(1) Unless these rules or an order of the court provides otherwise, a costs assessor must assess costs on the standard basis.

Note—

Costs on the standard basis were previously party and party costs—see rule 743S (Old basis for taxing costs equates to new basis for assessing costs).

(2) When assessing costs on the standard basis, a costs assessor must allow all costs necessary or proper for the attainment of justice or for enforcing or defending the rights of the party whose costs are being assessed.
