What are party and party costs?

Party and party are legal costs ordered by a court against an unsuccessful party in legal proceedings. Party and Party is strictly according to tariff and include those costs, charges and expenses incurred which are necessary and proper for the attainment of justice or the defending of one’s rights.

Attorney and client costs are the costs for which the client is liable to his/her attorney, for services rendered and disbursements paid on his/her behalf, in terms of a fee agreement entered into between the parties.

Wasted costs result from a situation whereby services rendered and costs incurred are no longer of use to the party, or useless to the continuation of an action or application. A wasted cost order is normally given upon postponement of a matter.  These costs will include the costs that will not be recovered at a later stage.
