Satellite litigation arising from an attempt by employers’ insurers to recover the costs of defending personal injury litigation from the solicitors who, until they withdrew from the case, were acting for the employee. The application was made in the alternative either on the basis that the solicitors ought to be made the subject of a wasted costs order or, alternatively, a non-party costs order. It was later conceded that, in the context of this case, the application for wasted costs added nothing to that for a non-party costs order and the former was not pursued.
