It is appropriate to carry out a brief explanation of the terms ‘expenses’ and ‘costs’ under the supplementary application of the rules of the Civil Procedure Code, which states that “The provisions of this code apply additionally to other procedural rules, whenever they are compatible with their nature.”

There is also a definition of costs and expenses entered in the code. ‘Costs’ are the court fees, fees for legal aid bodies and other legal costs incurred in the process.
