Budget increase

Capital For Enterprise Fund A LP and another v Bibby Financial Services Ltd (Costs) [2015] Lexis Citation 284, [2015] All ER (D) 222 (Nov) NLJ 4 December

Following the giving of the main judgment in the case (see [2015] All ER (D) 117 (Nov)), the Chancery Division considered that it was inappropriate for the court to give an indication that it would have been willing to order an increase in the defendant’s budget had such an application been made. An interim payment on account of costs would be directed to about 80% of 70% of the defendant’s approved budget.
