At the end of a case, a court awarded costs against Craig.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When costs are awarded against a party, it means that the winning side can recover some or all of their legal fees and expenses from the losing side. Even if Craig won his case, he may still be required to pay money to the other side to cover their legal fees and disbursements. Therefore, option E is the correct statement. Option A is unlikely as winning a private law case does not necessarily lead to costs being awarded against Craig. Option B is also unlikely as costs are awarded in civil cases, not criminal cases. Option C is incorrect as it is possible that Craig may only be required to pay a portion of the other party's expenses. Option D is incorrect as there is no information in the question to suggest that costs were awarded against the other party as well.
