Senior Courts Costs Office

No.23 of 2006

Gaynor v Central London Buses Ltd [2006] EWCA Civ 1120

28 July 2006

Auld, Dyson LJJ and Sir Martin Nourse

The Court of Appeal reversed the decision of the Circuit Judge and restored the order of the Master that on its true construction, a retainer letter was not a CFA and accordingly there was no need for the relevant statutory conditions to be satisfied. Section 58 Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 (as amended by the AJA 1999) was considered.
