Neill LJ
Legal Aid, Children
The standard practice of not awarding costs in children cases overrides the possibility of making a hardship order from Landlord. Costs orders are unusual in custody disputes and no order was to be made against the Legal Aid Board in favour of an unassisted party.
Neill LJ said: "In the last decade, however, it has become the general practice in proceedings relating to the custody and care and control of children to make no order as to the costs of the proceedings except in exceptional circumstances", but it was "unnecessary and undesirable to try to limit or place into rigid categories the cases which a court might regard as suitable for such an award".
