Cases

Walker v Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (Costs)

Comment

It seems a regulator can resist paying the costs of an unsuccessful first round in disciplinary proceedings, or a challenge to administrative action, but if further legal process follows the costs will follow the event, as usual. The appeal fund in this case was in the nature of an insurance policy, and refusal to take account of it seems consistent with general principle.
