Hi

I have something at the back of my mind that in the last two years or so there has been a change in either the "rules" or interpretation so that the loser in an IT may end up paying all the costs - I am aware about orders etc but would appreciate if anyone has any details, as I am drawing a complete blank in my web searches

Many thanks

Bruce

An hearing is pretty much on the lines of the small claims court.

They can up hold the decision and award all costs/ partial costs or no costs

Likewise they can dismiss and award all costs/ partial costs or no costs

In short it can cost several thousand to appeal.

In a recent case i was involved in the HSE asked for £12000 costs and were awarded £8000
