Carlisle and Cumbria United Independent Supporters’ Society Ltd v CUFC Holdings Ltd and Others: CA 5 May 2010

The claimant supporters’ club had brought an action to prevent a substantial shareholder in the first defendant company from selling off land owned by the club for no consideration. The parties had reached a settlement after a protracted claim seeking to prevent a director of a holding company from assigning land belong to the Football club without consideration. The claimants now appealed against a limited order for costs in their favour.
Held: The judge had erred. The trust should have all its costs as against the director, and then on a standard basis and as against the company on an indemnity basis.
