Employment tribunal makes £82,000 costs order against litigant in person
By The Association of Costs Lawyers
A litigant in person who “abruptly” walked out of a detailed assessment hearing before the end of the first day and failed
to return has been ordered to pay £82,930 by an employment judge. The general rule in employment tribunals is that no more
than £20,000 can be awarded in costs. However, it is not capped where a detailed assessment is carried out, as here.
