United Marine Aggregates Ltd v G M Welding & Engineering Ltd & Ors [2013] EWCA Civ 516 - 14/05/13

Description

In an appeal against a finding that a fire was not caused by breaches of contractual and tortious duty, the public liability insurer of the successful defendants appealed an award of 50% of its costs.

Held: The judge erred in making an order substantially influenced by the view that the insurer incurred disproportionately high costs: pursuing some issues on which it lost or which proved peripheral were not matters which justified depriving it of any part of its costs. The order was therefore unsustainable and substituted for an order awarding the insurer all its costs.
