Jefferson v National Freight Carriers plc
CA [2001] 2 Costs LR 313
The claimant suffered a minor back injury and at a fast track trial his general damages were assessed at £1,750 with special damages agreed at £525.74. The medical evidence had also been agreed.
The total schedule of costs sought amounted to £6,905.49 including VAT, profit costs and disbursements and the district judge allowed £3,500 (after wrongly deducting VAT). The court of appeal commented that the schedule “was clearly disproportionate” and for this case “far too high” and the decision of the judge was upheld.
