Costs

Canary Wharf (BP4) T1 Ltd and other companies v European Medicines Agency [2019] EWHC 921 (Ch), [2019] All ER (D) 94 (Apr)

The ruling in the proceedings dealt with various matters consequential upon a previous judgment in the same matter (see [2019] All ER (D) 154 (Feb)), in which the court had held that the lease entered into by the defendant European Medicines Agency with the claimants would not be frustrated on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, as it was neither a case of frustration by supervening illegality nor one of frustration of common purpose. In the present proceedings, the court: (i) decided that the claimant companies’ costs should be awarded on the standard rather than on an indemnity basis; (ii) made an interim payment on account of costs in the sum of £1m; and (iii) gave the claimants permission to appeal.
