Costs
Learning Curve (NE) Group Ltd v Lewis and another [2025] EWHC 2491 (Comm)
The King’s Bench Division addressed consequential matters following an earlier judgment dated 4 August 2025 regarding the defendants’ liability for warranty breaches and indemnity under a share purchase agreement (SPA) dated 29 October 2021. The court found that the claimant’s Part 36 offer of £5,211,625 matched the amount awarded in the judgment and ruled that the defendants failed to demonstrate it was unjust to apply CPR 36.17(4) consequences. The court awarded interest at varying rates corresponding to different timeframes and ruled that the defendants must pay costs on a standard basis before 28 February 2024 and on an indemnity basis thereafter. The defendants’ claim that the claimant acted unreasonably or exaggerated the claim was rejected.
