Costs

London Borough of Tower Hamlets v London Borough of Bromley [2015] EWHC 2271 (Ch), [2015] All ER (D) 42 (Sep)

The Chancery Division ruled that the fact that the claimant local authority had unsuccessfully advanced legal argument based on certain material did not mean that it should be deprived of some part of the costs where that material had, nonetheless, been relevant to the issue on which it had won its claim. The general rule that costs should follow the event applied and the claimant was entitled to its costs.
