Page v RGC Restaurants Ltd [2018] EWHC 2688 (QB)
The High Court has provided comment on the complex rules and
discretions in relation to the filing of a partial costs budget,
following a partially successful appeal.
Representatives for the Claimant, Mr Page, filed a costs budget
excluding the stages of trial preparation and trial. This was a
conscious decision by the Claimant's representatives. Master
Thornett ordered that the Claimant's costs budget be limited to
applicable Court fees only, on the basis it was
non-compliant. The Claimant appealed and sought relief from
sanctions.
Background
The Claimant suffered a serious injury, and pursued a claim
against the Defendant. Summary judgment on primary liability
was granted in favour of the Claimant, yet issues of contributory
negligence, causation and quantum remained.
