Litigation Letter
Wasted costs order
Hallam-Peel & Co v Southwark LBC [2008] EWCA Civ 1120 21 October
A firm of solicitors had not acted unreasonably in raising a new point in possession proceedings, which led to further adjournments
and its conduct did not involve a breach of duty to the court. Accordingly, a wasted cost order should not have been made
against them and their appeal was allowed.
