Ahuja Investments Ltd v Victory Game Ltd
[2021] EWHC 2730 (Ch)
Key Principle
Even a party that has substantially succeeded may be deprived of part of its recoverable costs to reflect findings of dishonesty made against it; here the successful defendants were deprived of 25% of their costs for their dishonesty, the court balancing that conduct against the claimant's own dishonest claim and the defendant's success in beating its Part 36 offer.
