Description
The principles relating to costs capping orders laid down in King v Telegraph Group Ltd (2004) EWCA Civ 613 , (2005) 1 WLR 2282, a defamation case, were not applicable to all litigation. In the instant case the fact that the claimant was instructing solicitors under a conditional fee agreement without after the event insurance cover was not enough in itself to justify a costs capping order being made.
