This will be frowned upon by the judge as he is a Lawyer and therefore 'an officer of the court' and really should know better. We may get awarded some costs. I need to practice my 'woe is me, I'm not a Lawyer and am being financially abused' face.



Hey Yorkie

Talk to your lawyer about whether you have to set up a costs application with some groundwork first rather than spring it on the day of court. You may be disappointed if you try the latter.

Bloody blinds! This jolted a memory for me. After BD, my XW asked me to install several. I did them. Not anymore though.

Good luck with the sale. Go Yorkshire!
