Breslin v. Seconds Ahead Llp [2005] UKEAT 0876_04_1708 (17 August 2005)

The tribunal found that although certain aspects of the appellant's bias case were criticised, the grounds of appeal were properly raised and not improper, vexatious, or misconceived. The proportion of costs referable to any improper points was not sufficiently material to merit an award of costs.
