 For example, in a typical judicial review application, even if a public interest party succeeds, it is still required to bear around one-third of their legal costs on a party to party basis, which is the normal costs order under such circumstances.Therefore, it has been argued that the wider usage and recognition of a Protective Costs Order (PCO) will fill the gap in legal aid.Under a PCO, either the losing party is not liable for the opponent’s legal costs or its liability is capped at a certain amount.
