Excerpt from Considerations on the Propriety of Making a Remuneration to Witnesses in Civil Actions, for Loss of Time, and of Allowing the Same on the Taxation of Costs as Between Party and Party: With Some Observations on the Present System of Taxing Costs

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of costs in legal suits, particularly examining the often-disputed matter of witness compensation. The author traces the evolution of witness payments from their origins in medieval law to the present day, shedding light on the legal principles and social factors that have shaped this practice. The book explores the tensions between the need to protect witnesses from undue hardship and the desire to prevent excessive or fraudulent claims. Through a close examination of case law and historical documents, the author argues that the allowance of reasonable compensation for witnesses' loss of time is both equitable and necessary to ensure the fair administration of justice. This book is an invaluable resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the history and complexities of legal costs.
