Casqueiro (In A Matter of Wasted Costs) v Barclays Bank Plc: EAT 14 Jun 2012

casqueiroEAT2012

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Costs
Unlike for ‘ordinary costs’ under Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2004 rule 41(1)(c), there is no power to refer wasted costs ordered under rule 48 to be assessed in the County Court. Further, the Employment Judge failed to consider, applying Ridehalgh v Horsefield [1994] Ch 205, which costs or what part of the costs schedule had been caused by the unreasonable conduct of the Appellant and whether it was just to order him to pay costs. Appeal allowed. Application for a wasted costs order remitted to a different Employment Judge.
