Walker and others v Burton and another and another case [2013] EWHC 811 (Ch), [2013] All ER (D) 201 (Apr)
An assessment of costs payable by one party to the other had to deal with issues that could be broadly grouped into two questions. First, what costs the receiving party had in fact incurred. Those consisted of amounts he had actually paid, and amounts for which he was liable to his lawyers. That set a maximum amount that the paying party might be required to pay. Second, what part of those costs that the paying party was required to pay. That might be less than the full costs incurred, for a number of reasons.
