Costs law - although a party had achieved benefit, aggressive litigation had not been necessary.
30 November 2011
On 28th November 2011 the High Court found that whilst the Claimant had achieved something of value from the litigation, such aggressive litigation had not been necessary and costs should not therefore be awarded in the Claimant's favour. Instead, the Claimant was ordered to pay the Defendant's costs.
