Third Party Costs Orders
Edward Cohen - David Richards J. made a third party costs order against the sole directors and shareholders of a company against whom the Claimant had obtained judgment for both a substantial sum and costs but which had gone into liquidation and was unable to pay. The principal ground upon which the third party costs order was made was that the 2 directors and shareholders had controlled the unsuccessful defence and counterclaim, that they had funded it to a substantial extent and that success would have been largely for their own personal benefit.
