What does Tariff B primarily relate to in the context of legal costs?

Tariff B specifically addresses costs related to default judgments in the context of legal costs. This tariff outlines the fees and disbursements that a solicitor can claim when a party fails to appear or respond in court, leading to a judgment being entered in favor of the other party without the need for a full hearing. It is important for practitioners to understand this tariff as it provides a clear framework for assessing costs in situations where litigation is not contested.

Understanding Tariff B's focus on default judgments helps prepare legal professionals for scenarios where a client seeks recovery of costs after securing a judgment without having to engage in extensive litigation processes. This can streamline the recovery process and allow for more efficient handling of cases where a party has not participated in the proceedings.
