Cases Timothy Harry

Popely v Popely (2020)

Judgment Date: 19 Mar 2020

The court considered the principles upon which a costs order might be made against a third party where it was said that he was the driving force behind the litigation, and further considered whether it was appropriate to make an order for costs against a trustee company which was a party to the proceedings, but did not wish to take, and did not take, any active part in them. Timothy Harry appeared for the trustee company which successfully resisted an order for costs being made against it. There has been no previous authority which has directly dealt with the issue of whether a trustee, joined as a necessary party to proceedings, but which takes no active part in them, can be held liable for the costs of them.

Bank of Ireland v Philip Pank Partnership (2014)

Judgment Date: 12 Feb 2014

Where a solicitor had filed and served a costs budget on time, but failed to notice when signing it that the words "statement of truth" appeared next to his signature without the actual statement of truth being present, his error did not render the costs budget a nullity; it was a valid document which suffered only from an irregularity and CPR r.3.14 was therefore not applicable. The court commented on the importance generally of statements of truth.

Mitchell v Watkinson (2013)

Judgment Date: 25 Jul 2013

A cricket club had had a tenancy without a lease in writing, meaning that the landlord's right of action for possession accrued on the determination of the tenancy in accordance with the Limitation Act 1980 Sch.1 Pt I para.5. Although the club had entered into a written tenancy agreement regarding the land, that agreement had not been with the freeholder; the fact that the freeholder had subsequently accepted rent payments, thus granting a lease by implication from conduct on the same terms as the written agreement, did not suffice to make the written agreement the relevant lease in writing.

J Alston & Sons v BOCM Pauls Ltd (2008)

Judgment Date: 28 Nov 2008

In order to succeed in a claim for adverse possession, an intention to infringe the rights of the paper owner was unnecessary; the claimant's recognition that he might have to go if asked to do so was not inconsistent with the requisite intention to possess.

Lennox Lewis v Eliades & Ors (2005)

Judgment Date: 21 Dec 2005

There was nothing wrong with the judge's finding that the first defendant was the beneficial owner of a property. Therefore the claimant was entitled to set off rent payments in respect of that property against a debt owed to him by the first defendant; and the bare trustees of the property, who in their role as estate administrators had disputed the first defendant's beneficial entitlement, could not recoup their litigation expenses against money that they held on his behalf.

Malekshad v Howard de Walden Estates Ltd (No.2) (2003)

Judgment Date: 19 Dec 2003

Unless a notice of claim for leasehold enfranchisement, which claimed too much or not enough, was amended appropriately, it would be invalid. The Leasehold Reform Act 1967 Sch. 3 para.6(3) made it clear that a necessary amendment to a notice could be refused and whether an amendment was allowed was a matter for the court, as was the question of the terms on which the amendment was to be allowed.
