Details

The government ran a targeted engagement exercise seeking views from key stakeholders across law enforcement, the Judiciary, civil society, legal profession, and other government departments on whether it would be appropriate to restrict the court’s power to order costs payable by an enforcement authority in civil recovery cases in the High Court.

The exercise ran between 12 January 2024 and 8 March 2024 and also sought views on the appropriate mechanism for implementing potential changes. The results of the exercise are reflected in this report.
