Federal Court Costs Affidavits

We routinely prepare Costs Summaries, and responses to Costs Summaries on behalf of parties to Federal Court Proceedings where a gross-sum (or lump sum) costs order is sought.

There are many benefits to seeking costs on a gross sum basis in the Federal Court. Ordinarily, the cost of preparing the costs summary will be significantly less than the costs of preparing a bill for taxation.  Additionally, the quantum of costs is usually determined by the presiding Judge or a Registrar much quicker than a taxation of a bill of costs.

OUR FEES TO PREPARE A COSTS SUMMARY

Compared to the costs of preparing a bill of costs for taxation (approximately 8-10% of the professional fees drawn in the bill), our costs to prepare a costs summary affidavit start from just 3% of the professional fees claimed. In particularly large matters, we are able to offer reduced pricing. Please give us a call to discuss.
