Every other letter from my ex's heavy handed sol contains a threat of cost orders against me for different aspects of the case. How does this actually work? I'm trying to abide by the court directions and timetable- unlike, I might say, the ex- but I thought the courts did not like making cost orders, as it effectively lines the sol's pockets. In any case, I dont understand how it works in practical terms-how do you work out which parts the costs apply to........ surely there are better ways to resolve these issues rather than threats, threats, threats, blah! blah!...........talk about making vulnerable people feel like criminals! And as a self repper, I'm likely to make the odd procedural mistake. Any views or experiences?
