Civil procedure

Various Claimants v Mercedes-Benz Group AG & Ors

The court determined that the majority of claimants' budgets were excessive, particularly due to duplication of work, over-lawyering, and inefficient communication. Costs were reduced to figures broadly in line with defendants' offers, with further reductions where both sides' budgets were deemed generous. The court applied a 20% tolerance for reasonable and proportionate costs, deferred budgeting for expert reports and ADR/settlement phases, and emphasised that only costs necessary for efficient litigation should be recoverable.

Private international law

Catarina Oliveira da Silva & Ors v Brazil Iron Limited & Anor

Although Brazil has the most real and substantial connection to the claims, there is a real risk that claimants will not be able to obtain substantial justice there due to the economics of litigation, limited funding options, and the absence of viable CFA or legal aid arrangements for lawyers' fees; undertakings by defendants do not remedy this risk. Therefore, the English court should retain jurisdiction and refuse a stay.
