HPII & Aird-Brown v Ruhan & Stevens [2022]

2-day consequentials hearing. Obtained final judgment against Defendants for c.£162m, including compound interest. Samuel made the costs submissions on behalf of the Claimants, and successfully argued that the Defendants should be joint and severally liable. Obtained a £2.1m payment on account. The decision also establishes that costs of s.236 applications against third parties may be treated as costs of an incidental to underlying proceedings, over and above expenses of a liquidation.
