Proportionality in Costs
Jeffrey Pinsler SC
(2011) 23 SAcLJ 125
Abstract:
This article examines the principle of proportionality in the context of the recent amendments to the Rules of Court by the Rules of Court (Amendment No 3) Rules 2010. It will be suggested that proportionality is a fundamental concern of civil proceedings and that the principle has a particularly important bearing on access to justice.
