Cases

Musa King v Telegraph Group Ltd (CA)

Held

(1) The Defendant was entitled to rely upon the fact of police suspicion in its particulars of justification.

(2) The Court declined to exercise any control over costs in the instant case, leaving the issue to the trial judge or costs judge. The following guidance was endorsed: a court can, in an appropriate case, make a costs capping order prospectively, at the allocation stage, on the whole or any part of proceedings. CPR 3.2(m) confers the requisite power. Cost capping should be inclusive, insofar as the CFA-funded part is concerned, of any additional liability.
