Court exercised its discretion to award the plaintiff costs of the action on a common fund basis on District Court scale to be taxed if not agreed, based on the plaintiff's status as a mentally incapacitated person requiring protection, the long standing practice and applicable rules and guidance; the court accepted the plaintiff solicitors' Primary Undertaking; alternatively, if a cut-off were required the court identified 13 February 2017 as the appropriate cut-off (date of the second accident causing incapacity).
