Cases

Tierney v News Group Newspapers Ltd (No.2) (Costs)

Comment

Cost capping is still in its infancy. In this case, the Defendant indicated to the Court that it would not be instructing a QC. Had the situation been different, there would have been a potential clash between the principle of equality of arms and the observations of Brooke LJ in Musa King (that litigants on CFAs would have to face the same realities in choice of counsel that many legally aided litigants had to face).
