- High Court
The interlocutory judgment disposed of most causes of action because the contract and tort claims based on the tax advice accrued by 14 April 2008 and were therefore time-barred; there is no continuing duty to correct negligent advice once given and the Contractual Mistakes Act claim was misconceived; accordingly defendants were entitled to recover ordinary costs of the interlocutory application but not increased costs, second counsel allowances or travel expenses at this stage.
