Measuring of Costs.
A letter was read in reply from the Bar
Council stating that the question of the
arbitrary measurement of costs of motions in
the King's Bench Division in reference to
which this Council had submitted a memo
randum to the Bar Council, had been con
sidered. The Bar Council expressed approval
of the memorandum, and forwarded
the
.following resolution which they had passed
on this subject :—" The Council wish to call
the attention of the members of the Bar to
Order LXV., Rule 25, of the Supreme Court
Rules dealing with the measurement of
Costs of Interlocutory applications, and to
inform the profession that this Rule has of
late not been strictly adhered to, with the
result that in many cases the costs as
measured by the Court do not even cover
the Solicitor's outlay.
" The Council
suggest
that
in
future
members of
the Bar shall not ask the
Court to measure the costs of Interlocutory
proceedings in which they represent the
successful
party without definite
in
structions, and that when they appear for
the unsuccessful party they shall not ask
to have the costs measured unless they can
show
special circumstances within
the
meaning of this Rule."
