Litigation Letter
Test case costs
Peer International Corporation and others v Editora Musical de Cuba [2008] EWCA Civ 1260 26 November
In an appeal against the refusal of the trial judge to make an order for costs, the defendant contended that the judge should
have taken into account that this was a test case affecting the rights in a very large number of Cuban songs composed in the
1930s and 1940s.
