Costs Orders
The order that a judge gives as to costs determines who will be the paying and who the receiving party. The amount of costs remains to be determined by assessment. Common costs Orders, other than on the Small Claims Track, are:

| Costs thrown-away | Costs of the applicant in, for example, a successful application to set-aside an order |
| Costs of and caused by | Costs of other parties when a party, for example, amends a case – costs of attending hearing and own consequential amendments |
| Costs here and below | Includes costs in inferior courts (but appeal from Divisional Court cannot award costs below Divisional Court) |
| No order as to costs/ Each party to pay his own costs | — |

Famous quotes containing the words costs and/or orders:
“Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.—Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Really, if the lower orders don’t set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
