The court was asked as to the proper approach the court should adopt in determining the costs of this claim where the issues between the parties have been resolved, or substantially resolved, without the need for a trial. Generally, the issue is whether the court should direct that a trial, with relevant witnesses attending for cross-examination, should take place in order to enable the court to make a determination of costs issues, or, alternatively should the court adopt a more limited procedure and determine such issues without ‘live evidence’ being called.
