Costs — legal practitioner and client scale — unreasonable and reprehensible conduct on part of unsuccessful party.
Whilst the courts will not lightly accede to a prayer for an award of costs on a legal practitioner and client scale, such an award will be granted where the unsuccessful party's conduct has been completely unreasonable and reprehensible. In the present case, the respondent's attitude had been that of a man who has deliberately and stubbornly refused to bring a dispassionate mind to bear on the dispute, which could have been resolved quite amicably and inexpensively if he had showed the slightest co-operation. In such circumstances it was quite unfair for the successful party to be put out of pocket in the matter of costs.
