The question · editorial wording
What N260 or equivalent signed costs statement was before you when costs were assessed following the 10 March 2025 hearing? Identify the document, its date and where it is held, and provide the available copy through the court. If no such statement was available, what other material supported the assessment and why did the court proceed on that basis?
Why this matters A traceable exercise of power
A financial order must be capable of explanation by reference to the material and reasoning used. The central issue is the basis of the assessment, not simply whether a document carries a particular form number.
