The Case
Where the claimant had succeeded in the entirety of her claim for damages in respect of personal injury, and the judge had made no order as to costs, the change in the claimant's account could not justify the judge's decision to depart from the normal rule as to costs, under CPR 44.3. The defendant would be ordered to pay all of the claimant's costs, and those after the expiration of her Pt36 offer, on an indemnity basis.
