M v London Borough of Croydon [2012] EWCA Civ 595
01 Jan 2018
Health and Social Care, Housing
The Court of Appeal has given important guidance on the approach to costs when judicial review claims settle before final hearing. In an age assessment claim against the London Borough of Croydon the Claimant M unsuccessfully sought an order that the Borough should pay all his costs.
The Master of the Rolls gave guidance that will assist parties in settling claims at an earlier stage and laid out the rules that should apply when the Court is left to determine where costs will lie.
