Palmer v The Estate of Kevin Palmer Deceased and others: CA 6 Feb 2008

The judge had concluded that the insurers’ conduct of an unsuccessful defence was sufficiently self-motivated to make it the real defendant in all but name, and the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal against an order that it be liable in costs as a third party.
