After a substantial personal injury case, the parties now disputed who should bear the costs of the costs assessment which had itself lasted 8 days.
Held: Though the defendant had indeed managed to achieve a reduction in its liability on costs, that reduction was modest and nothing like what it had set out to achieve. The defendant should pay 71% of the costs of the assessment and 60% of the claimants costs of the appeal.
