Paragraph 1A applies so scale costs under the Second Schedule normally apply to Order 13A judgments; the Court retains a discretion under Order 62 r 32(4) to order taxation but that discretion should be exercised only in exceptional circumstances; compliance with PD 18.1 or pre-action work does not automatically qualify as exceptional and on the facts no exceptional circumstances existed; therefore scale costs totalling HKD 11,045 awarded for costs of liability.
