Notable Cases
Peter acted for the interested parties in a judicial review issued by an individual seeking to overturn a costs order made against him after he brought a failed private prosecution against Peter’s clients. The High Court confirmed that the criminal courts have the power to award costs against private prosecutors if they are satisfied that the costs were incurred as a result of an unnecessary or improper act of omission.
