  • It means 'The other side are going to have to pay your costs, and how much you're entitled to will have to be assessed at a later date. But here's a proportion of your costs to be getting on with.'

    General rule of thumb=

    Payment on account: 50% of what you've actually spent
    Total costs on the standard basis: 65-70% of what you've actually spent
    Total costs on the indemnity basis: 80-90% of what you've actually spent
