Description
Appeal of, among other things, an order requiring a firm, who retained and used money received into their client account from the claimants to settle fees contrary to an assignment, to pay 75% of the claimants' costs.
Held: There was no arguable basis for a challenge to the costs order. The judge did not err in finding that the claimants indicated with sufficient certainty that there had been an assignment nor in principle in his approach to costs. Although the claimants had failed on their damages claim, they achieved overall a substantial measure of success.
