Catherine O'Boyle v Mary Vivien Wallis
[2026] EWHC 1386 (Ch)
Key Principle
A person appointed under CPR 19.12 to represent the estate of a deceased party is not automatically personally liable for all costs ordered against the estate; the court retains a discretion as to the representative's personal costs liability, exercised by reference to the circumstances of the appointment (including responsibility for, and the period of, the costs incurred).
