Black LJ said: ‘it is very important for the judge to take a global view of the proportionality of the costs incurred but, before he fixes a figure for costs, he must advance from that to an item by item consideration of the individual elements of the bill by way of a summary assessment or alternatively, he must direct a detailed assessment which will fulfil that task’.
