On an appeal from a costs officer, the Costs Judge will rehear the proceedings which gave rise to the decision appealed against and may make any order and give any directions which he considers appropriate.
An appeal from the decision of a Costs Judge is limited to a review of that decision, unless the court considers that it would be in the interests of justice to hold a rehearing.
On an appeal from a decision of a Costs Judge it is customary for the court to sit with one or two assessors: a Costs Judge and, if there is a second assessor, a practising barrister or solicitor.
