The appeal court had previously remitted a matter to the Restrictive Practices court, having found that the court might be biased. The parties having settled the main litigation, they sought the additional costs incurred by them in correcting what they said was the fault of the court. The Lord Chancellor responded that the parties were acting only in a representative capacity, the court hearing was not determinative of their rights, thus their Human rights had not been infringed. No representative order had been made. The request failed.
