Payment on Account

Payment on Account

35.

The parties are agreed that:

i)

If I were to make an order for the assessment of the Claimant’s costs on the standard basis, then an appropriate payment on account is £475,000.

ii)

If I were to make an order for the assessment of the Claimant’s costs on the indemnity basis then an appropriate payment on account is £660,000.

36.

It follows that, as I consider that an order for the assessment of the Claimant’s costs on an indemnity basis is appropriate, the appropriate payment on account is £660,000.

37.

Given my decision that there should be no order as to the costs of the Disclosure Application, the sum of £660,000 does not need to be adjusted to take account of the costs of the Disclosure Application.
