Cases

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

Held

The level of the cap ought to be increased to permit the Claimant to incur an extra £20,000 in solicitors' costs. However, given that the Defendant had agreed not to instruct a QC at trial, the Claimant would not be able to recover the costs of instructing a QC. Costs cap ought not generally to include an amount for the costs of bringing and resisting interim applications.
