Euroil Ltd v Cameroon Offshore Petroleum Sarl [2014] EWHC 215 (Comm) (07 February 2014)

Given the complexity and substantial quantum in dispute, and the evolving nature of the costs schedules, a detailed assessment is appropriate rather than summary assessment. A payment on account of £120,000 is ordered as the minimum Camop will recover.
