London Borough of Hounslow v Waaler [2017] EWCA Civ 45, [2017] All ER (D) 32 (Feb)
The Court of Appeal dismissed the claimant’s appeal against costs charged to her following repairs to her flat carried out by the owner, the defendant London Borough. The court held that the Upper Tribunal, which had allowed the claim in part, had made no error of law that would entitle the court to intervene.
