Settlement of bills of costs subject to payment conditions - business policy
Please note that it is our policy that we do not enter into payment conditions of the amount negotiated of any bill of costs. Any signed allocatur is immediately executable - subject to the usual 10 day gentlemen's agreement to pay such costs. We will negotiate and calculate the end figure but any payment conditions you wish to add to the settlement will need to be done between the attorneys. Under no circumstances will we be part of such negotiations. It serves no purpose other than to open a door to possible complexities, whereas the bill is payable immediately after taxation in any event.
