If costs are awarded against me I''ve got no chance of paying them, if I have to declare bankruptcy would they be treated as any other debt and written off within a year if I was unable to pay them off within the bankruptcy year?
I presented in person but ex was represented. We had the final hearing and we haven''t had the order yet. The last thing their barrister asked was should be reserve the costs or something to that effect and the judge said yes so I guess in the judges mind it was not an obvious each should pay their own costs.
