Common confusion points
Confusing 'Costs' with 'Damages': Costs are the fees/expenses; damages are the monetary compensation for loss.
Not understanding Recoupment: It means costs aren't just paid from a pot, but they are recovered systematically against a specific party or asset.
Using the wrong form: If the judgment is simple and doesn't explicitly state 'recoupment', you might use 49.05 instead.
Who signs it: The applicant/party usually completes it, but the Judge or Registrar must confirm/sign it.
