About this title

Synopsis

In-depth guidance on chancery practice, with forms and precedents for costs.

This reference explains how courts handle costs, solicitor’s bills, and taxation, with practical rules you can apply in equity cases. It also covers evidence, witness competency, and how decisions about costs fit into larger litigation procedures.

This edition compiles procedures and precedents relevant to the Court of Chancery, including how costs are taxed, how payment is enforced, and the role of masters and officers in supervising costs. It presents rules and examples that help lawyers understand both the theory and the practice of equity procedures, as well as how different types of evidence are treated in chancery settings.

• Rules for taxing solicitor’s costs and how to handle abatements or adjustments
• Guidance on enforcing costs through notices, summonses, and contempt-like mechanisms
• Rules on the competency and credibility of witnesses in equity cases
• Precedents and forms adapted to the latest orders governing costs and procedures

Ideal for readers of historical legal practice, equity practitioners, and students seeking a clear view of old but influential chancery rules and procedures.
