Claimant's insurance cover did not preclude costs award

Tuesday 16th September 2014

In Mardner v Gardner and ors the EAT has held that an employment judge erred in refusing to make a costs award in the claimant’s favour on the basis that his claim had been funded by legal expenses insurance. It would be contrary to public policy for the receiving party’s means to be taken into account when considering a costs award.
