The court had found the defendant negligent in its management of the claimant’s labour. The parties had settled the damages at a level more advantageous to the claimant than earlier offers. The parties now disputed the claimant’s contention that ‘the consequences of Part 36.14(3) should apply and that the claimant should have all her costs on an indemnity basis from the expiry of the relevant period plus interest thereon at the enhanced ‘Part 36 rate’ plus the enhancement of damages specified in 36.14(3)(a) and (d).’
