6. NB Defendants Costs Order
If you are successful in the case not being proved against you at the discretion of the court you may obtain a Defendants Costs Order. This entitles you to the costs incurred by the Defence to be paid out of Central Funds. To the extent that the costs recovered do not fully recompense us we will look to you for the balance, but the bulk of what you have paid would be refunded to you.
The Defendants Costs Order would be limited to any fixed fee agreed with you, but if no fixed fee was agreed, it would be calculated according to the figures contained in our Terms of Business Letter. It is for this reason important that you return the Terms of Business Letter signed so that there is no misunderstanding as to what basis we are to be paid.
