High Court may be lenient where statement of costs is filed late

May 20, 2021

Where the Claimant failed file their statement of costs 24 hours before a hearing in Tribe v Elborne Mitchell LLP (Costs) [2021] EWHC 1252 (Ch), Master McCloud took the lenient view that, where the Defendant suffered no prejudice by the late filing, no sanctions should be imposed on the Claimant.
