Court case, judge awards cost against defendant...
 

Does anyone know about this?

My dad took a case against somebody to court and won - in their absence. The judge granted costs against the defendant. Shortly afterward my dad received a bill from his solicitors for the court costs :Suspiciou - Is this right?

How does costs against the defendant work???

Cheers

Mick :D

Presumably you'll need to pay your solicitors invoice before the payout comes through, and the payout will include the legal costs.
