Nimat Halal Food Ltd v Patel
[2020] EWHC 734 (Ch)
Key Principle
An office-holder (here an administrator) who rejects a creditor's proof of debt will not ordinarily be made personally liable for the costs of a successful challenge under Insolvency Rule 14.9; something more relating to the office-holder's own conduct is required before a personal costs order is justified.
