5 Application of Division
This Division is made under section 149 of the Act and applies to the following costs payable on a party and party basis, on a practitioner and client basis or on any other basis—
legal costs,
costs for matters that are not legal services but are related to proceedings in a motor accidents matter.
Note.
Section 149(2) of the Act provides that a legal practitioner is not entitled to be paid or recover for a legal service or other matter an amount that exceeds any maximum costs fixed for the service or matter by regulations under section 149.
This Division does not affect costs recovered before 17 December 1999 or for which a bill of costs was issued before that day.
Note.
Section 147(2) of the Act provides that expressions in Chapter 6 (Costs) of the Act (and consequently expressions used in this Part) have the same meaning as they have when used in relation to legal costs in the legal profession legislation (as defined in section 3A of the Legal Profession Uniform Law Application Act 2014).
