The parties’ dispute had been settled for a period during the claim, Mrs Barry had not been legally aided, and she wanted to claim her costs from him. She failed to file a bill within the three month period, but the court had ordered her to file and serve a bill for assessment.
Held: Mr Barry’s appeal failed. The fact that the bill was out of time was not conclusive to protect him.
