Interest on the claim (including interest paid on an EC award) is not to be included when assessing whether the plaintiff's claim exceeds the District Court monetary jurisdiction; only the EC award principal should be deducted and MPF may be included, and on that basis the claim exceeded the District Court limit so the plaintiff's costs are to be taxed on the High Court Scale; consequential orders as to costs of the application and taxation under Legal Aid Regulations were made.
