Matrimonial Costs, written by District Judge Martin Cardinal, is an up-to-date, authoritative and practical guide to the whole spectrum of costs rules relating to matrimonial proceedings, including divorce, injunctions, ancillary relief cases and Children Act proceedings. It tackles every aspect of the subject from general principles to complex issues such as wasted costs orders, for both private clients and those funded by the Legal Services Commission. Increased scrutiny of costs in family proceedings and recent fundamental reforms mean it is vital that all practitioners have a clear understanding of this difficult topic. Clear guidance is given on the impact of the Civil Procedure Rules, the changes brought about by the reform of ancillary relief procedures, legal aid system changes and the implications of the Access to Justice Act 1999. Full of invaluable tips and guidance for the family practitioner, Matrimonial Costs also includes checklists, specimen bills of costs, precedents and an explanation of every costs order which can be made in matrimonial proceedings. No family lawyer wishing to maintain a profitable practice and a good relationship with their clients can afford to be without this invaluable book. "The author has succeeded in providing clear guidance to the specialist and to the new practitioner. Each will appreciate the eminently readable style. In particular they will welcome the wise tips, valuable check-lists, and specimen bills as much as the particularly helpful layout."<> Foreword by the Hon Mr Justice Sumner
