Costs
Your costs are what you spend on your claim (e.g. money spent on solicitors, filing documents with the court, employing someone to serve the documents, business name or company searches). In the Supreme and District courts, you may be subject to setting down and hearing fees if your matter proceeds to trial. You should get legal advice about what costs you are entitled to claim.
If your claim is successful you may be entitled to have your costs repaid. If your claim is not successful you will most likely have to pay the defendant’s costs.
