Cases

Noorani v Calver (No 2 Costs)

Held

An indemnity costs order was appropriate, for two reasons. First, the Defendant had made offers which the Claimant had failed to beat and the Claimant's pre-trial conduct was both "unreasonable to a high degree" and "out of the norm". Second, the underlying claim was fundamentally flawed and the jury was highly likely to find that the allegations complained of were true. C was ordered to pay £50,000 on account within 14 days.
