standard basis

standard basis
The basis of assessment of costs where the court will only allow costs which are proportionate to the matters in issue and resolve any doubt which it may have as to whether or not costs were reasonably incurred or reasonable and proportionate in amount in favour of the paying party. This means that the party seeking to recover its costs has to prove the reasonableness of the amount claimed. This is the basis on which most costs orders are made and if a party does not ask for costs on the indemnity basis, then this is what will be ordered. It has been said that the standard basis means that generally a party obtains an order for around 60-70% of the costs claimed on assessment.
