Cook on Costs was described by Lord Justice Ward in Widlake v BBA Ltd as “the seminal text book on costs” and has been updated on a yearly basis for many years. The 2014 edition sees the editorship move from Michael Cook to Costs Judge Jason Rowley and Regional Costs Judge Simon Middleton. The latest edition is less a regular update and, in movie terminology, more a complete reboot of the franchise.
A complete reboot
The structure of the book has been completely reorganised, much to the overall benefit of the book’s usability.
The fact that this is a book written by judges working at the coal face of costs shines through on every page. This is a work that focuses on the practicalities of costs, both in terms of procedure and assessment.
