Cook on Costs is well established as a practical up-to-date guide providing clear and straightforward explanations of every aspect of the remuneration of solicitors and barristers for every level of reader. It is an authoritative but eminently readable work, thoroughly and comprehensively covering the entitlement to and quantification of contentious and non-contentious, solicitor and client, between the parties and family costs, together with the private and public funding of litigation.

Cook on Costs aims to explain as well as to inform. No one who wishes to understand the principles and practice of legal costs should be without a copy.
