Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- Date of the judgment or order stating the amount, or the date of the costs certificate stating the amount, or such other date as the court specifies
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Sub-paragraph (c) lets the court specify a different date, and it frequently does (commonly 28 days, or by instalments). Absent a specified date, 14 days applies and the sum becomes enforceable. Not extendable by agreement so as to bind the court, though parties routinely agree forbearance between themselves.
- Applies to default, interim and final costs certificates alike: each "will include an order to pay the costs to which it relates" (rr.47.11(2), 47.16(2), 47.17(5)). Interest on the costs of detailed assessment proceedings runs from the date of the default, interim or final certificate unless the court orders otherwise (r.47.20(6)).
