LI v FT (Maintenance Pending Suit) [2024] EWFC 342 (B)19 July 2024
DDJ Harrop. Decision on costs after an MPS application with no clear winner. The court was dismayed by what had been incurred in legal fees contesting the MPS application. W incurred £27,000 in a little over a month and H nearly £12,000. The sums could have paid for the disputed holiday nearly twice over or, as the husband points out, met a term’s school fees. The MPS costs were the context of W having already incurred £100,000 in legal fees up to the FDA, and H’s £26,000.
