hi all,
just got judge's decision for dismissal of OCL involvement which I opposed in the motion brought on me for OCL to be involved. So, I won the motion and am entitled to costs and judge scheduled a court meeting for cost submission. I don't know if I should go on my own or with lawyer and also if this time in court that lawyer will spend there should be included into costs claimed or not - this won't be already OCL motion or still part of such process? Last time I spent 4 hours in court for one hour hearing because there were cases before ours and spent over 1 K for lawyer to attend..
Now I am thinking maybe this time I should go on my own. Does anyone know the process for cost submission and other than written document would I need to argue there or it is relatively unstressful process? What is it like and if there is any written material or articles and tips on cost submission process, please, share.
And also I wonder what part a lawyer plays there, I mean could I win more costs with lawyer versus being self-represented. Invoice should state pretty clear how much is spent on certain issue, so I wonder what to argue about there. It will be to judge's discretion which fraction if at all I get?
