Cases

Walker v Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (Costs)

Held

Awarding W his appeal costs: (1) The cases relied on by the RCVS - Bradford MDC v Booth (2000) 164 JP 485 (DC), R (Gorlov) v Institute of Chartered Accountants [2001] EWHC 220 (Admin) and Baxendale-Walker v Law Society [2008] 1 WLR 426 - did not bear on the present situation, but rather on the different position of costs before disciplinary tribunals or courts dealing with a first appeal against an administrative decision; an order in W's favour would be consistent with the Board's costs jurisprudence; (2) the point lost was but one of a number pursued, and took hardly any time; (3) the appeal fund was irrelevant.
