Haynes v Department for Business Innovation and Skills [2014] 3 Costs LR 475
27. In Fourie v Le Roux and Others [2006] EWHC 1840 (Ch) in a case which did not appear to differentiate specific and non-specific costs Warren J held that a non-scientific broad-brush approach would be appropriate (see paras 14 and 15 of his judgment). This case along with the two first instance decisions referred to in the Solicitors Journal (20 December 2012 edition) appear to lend support to Master Simons’ approach in the instant case.
