Schillings International LLP v Scott [2019] EWHC 1335 (Ch)

Date of Judgment: 10.06.19 | Court: High Court | Area of Law: Commercial Litigation

James Mather, instructed by Cooke, Young & Keidan’s Sinead O’Callaghan, successfully obtained the dismissal of an injunction application brought by Schillings against a former partner of the firm and an indemnity costs order against Schillings, which was ordered to pay the full amount of the respondent’s costs on summary assessment.  The Judge held that the application was in breach of a binding arbitration clause and reaffirmed the principle that costs will be awarded on the indemnity basis against a party who brings court proceedings in breach of an arbitration agreement.  Schillings was represented by Jeremy Callman, instructed by Fox Williams.
