Amount of group litigation cost cap

A group litigation of 869 claimants was commenced against five tour operators following gastrointestinal or viral infections contracted in Torremolinos. Apart from 60 claimants the damages for each claimant lay between £1,977 and £2,473. The residual 60 had claims of up to £20,000. The group litigation order provided for costs to be capped and the court had to determine the amount of the cap.
