Valeria Ivacheva in a comment for Pravo.ru

Enter litigation, win the litigation, and recover the court costs from the opponent - ideally, the algorithm looks like this. But in the real world, cost collection can stretch over several sessions and require a lot of evidence. If lawyers are expensive, even perfectly prepared counsel billings and all the collected receipts may not be sufficient to have the costs recovered in full - courts still prefer to reduce compensation. We have discussed with litigators how to improve your chances in a legal expense dispute and prepared some tips.

Valeria Ivacheva, an advocate of ART DE LEX Court Practice comments: “Courts treat applications for the recovery of court costs formally, and if the case has not passed two rounds of consideration and has not lasted more than three years, then a detailed review of the application for the recovery of court costs and the recovery of an amount at least close to the original claim should not be expected”.
