HT-2023-000006 - [2024] EWHC 2914 (TCC)

I have decided that during this period J&BH should pay A & V’s costs subject to a credit in J&BH’s favour.

During this period J&BH’s legal team appear to have spent about 100 hours on the case.

For the reasons given above, I take this as a realistic starting point for assessment of a fair number of hours to allow for Mr Paduraru’s involvement. I can see no basis to increase this number in this period, and therefore allow £1,900.

Against this is to be set the figure of £8,536 (see paragraphs 102 and 106 above).

Thus in respect of this period there is a net sum of £6,636 due from A & V to J&BH.
