EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Costs
An appeal against a costs order under rule 41(1)(c) ETR that the Claimant pay the whole costs of the proceedings to be assessed.
Subject to ‘ability to pay’ point, no error of law in Tribunal’s decision to order the whole of the costs based on Claimant’s conduct and effects thereof.
On ‘ability to pay’, Tribunal erred in law in failing itself to raise the question of means before making such an order (which was going to amount to andpound;100K) against a Claimant even though she was legally represented.
