Henry Ward successfully represented the Defendant “Queue-It” in a further security for costs application under CPR rule 25.13(2)(c) against the Claimant. The parties had settled the first security for costs application.
Bacon J held that the settlement was not a basis for refusing to award further security because the settlement order had envisaged that the parties had liberty to apply following costs budgeting in the case, which had taken place in the intervening period.
Bacon J ordered the additional £505,000 security for costs sought by Queue-It.
