Personnel daily expenses
Personnel daily expenses
Although there are a number of claims for generally small sums for personnel daily expenses (excluding flights), it is not clear what the contractual basis of the claimed sums is. Pharos have called no evidence in relation to this aspect of its claim, and the submissions do not provide any assistance (either as a matter of principle or quantification).
