The court has power to award interest on costs under CPR rule 44.2(6)(g). The claimant seeks interest at 2% above the Bank of England base rate from the date on which she paid the invoices for her legal costs until the date of this judgment. She will be entitled to interest thereafter at the rate of 8% per annum under the Judgments Act 1838. I can see no good reason why the claimant should be deprived of compensation for the loss of the use of her money, and I will make the order sought.
