Sometimes, when a judge is considering who to order to pay the costs of legal proceedings he will split the costs.
For example, very often what appears as one dispute is in fact made up of two smaller disputes, or three or more. It might be a case where the party who has won has only won because he has succeeded in (say) one of three issues. In that situation from the costs point of view the judge might take the view that since he has lost on two of them he should not get all the costs, so a judge in that case might, for example, make an order that he only gets a third of his costs, but not the other two thirds.
This is what is known as a Split Costs Order.
