The University sought the costs of having attended at an oral renewal of application for leave to appeal.
Held: The professor had gone ahead despite a warning about it not being justified. She had prepared extensive grounds for the appeal. However the case was already well known to the University, and the bill of costs submitted was very substantially excessive. They had chosen to instruct leading counsel for the application, and the solicitors had expended too much time. The costs payable would be limited to andpound;3000 including VAT.
