Costs in exaggerated or dishonest claims

Useful Articles > Costs in exaggerated or dishonest claims (print this page )

The recently reported case of Widlake v BAA Ltd concerned an Appeal by a successful Claimant against an award for costs against her which the Trial Judge had made on the basis that she had exaggerated her claim for damages. 

The Claimant was successful and the Judgment contains a very helpful review of the various authorities involving exaggerated or dishonest claims and their effect upon the award of costs. 

The case is certainly worth considering if you are faced with these arguments.  

If you have a query about this, or indeed about any costs query, please don't hesitate to contact me.
