Dowding v Character Group: Tribunal Costs

11KBW Employment Podcast

Tom Ogg speaks to Michael White about Dowding v The Character Group plc [2024] EAT 153, a case which touches on the most common questions relating to costs in the Tribunal. How should a Tribunal assess whether a claim had no reasonable prospect of success? What kind of conduct is ‘unreasonable’ such that costs should be awarded – including in relation to the refusal of settlement offers? How should Tribunals decide upon the amount of a costs award? And in what circumstances should ‘indemnity’ costs be awarded?
