Friston on Costs is the acclaimed and often-cited authority on the law of costs.

Separated into sixteen well-defined and easily navigable parts, this substantial and encyclopaedic text covers all aspects of the law of civil costs from funding and contracts of retainers, all the way through to the assessment of costs (both between opposing parties and between solicitor and client). The fourth edition has been updated to take into account the considerable number of authorities on this difficult and technical topic. Areas of interest to specialists have also been expanded upon, such as the recoverability of the costs of inquests, the costs of solicitors who act in their own cause, and disclosure of litigation funding.

Friston features thorough cross-referencing throughout, enabling the user to easily locate answers to even the most complex of costs issues. It is an invaluable resource for costs judges, academics, and practitioners alike.

Reviews for Friston on Costs

Review from previous edition Anyone thinking of writing a comprehensive guide to the law and history of civil costs should concede defeat now and accept that they could never emulate what ought now be to be regarded as the definitive bible of this generation. * Professor Dominic Regan, New Law Journal * The overall scope of the book is an encyclopaedic as ever. ... No topic - however obscure - appears to have been overlooked. The author deserves the undying gratitude of the rest of the costs profession. * Simon Gibbs, Legal Costs Blog * [C]overing all aspects of the law of civil costs ... It's undoubtedly an invaluable resource for costs judges and practitioners alike. * Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chamber * All those engaged in costs recognise the purple book as indispensable as the white or green books. It is an invaluable resource for those attempting to manoeuvre the complex and fast paced area of legal costs because it is the only resource to set out how and why a rule works. It will rightly adorn the desk of many a Judge and practitioner. * Jack Ridgway, Chairman of the Association of Costs Lawyers * Friston is highly recommended for anyone operating within civil litigation, whether as a litigation lawyer, a costs lawyer or a costs judge - its utility cannot be overstated. * Roisin O'Dubhlaoidh, The Gazette *
