Book review: Cook on Costs 2012

Is it really 12 months since the last Cook on Costs appeared on the shelves? Much has happened in that time and Michael Cook has clearly been busy expanding his Cookbook to accommodate the changes.

Author: HH Michael Cook
Publisher: Butterworths Law (31 Dec 2011)
ISBN: 978-1405755474
Price: Hardcopy £104.00; e-Book £104.00;
    Hardcopy & e-Book £145.00

He has done his usual masterful job in pulling together all the strands of the many changes which have occurred over the months, incorporating rule changes and case reports, but Jackson will provide a real challenge for the next year.

The first appendix to the 2012 edition shows the state of the proposed Jackson reforms, as at the end of November 2011, and the probable effect on s 58 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990. As the Jackson proposals struggle through Parliament, with the opposing interests applying pressure for incorporation of their own angles, the intended implementation date has already moved from 2012 to 2013 so there is plenty of work ahead for the author.
