Crowther v Crowther & Ors [2020] EWHC 3555 (Fam)
Successful application for indemnity costs on preliminary issues in financial remedy proceedings when allegations of fraud and conspiracy were withdrawn and claims discontinued shortly before the trial.
Mr Crowther applied for Mrs Crowther to pay his costs of preliminary issues on an indemnity basis. There had been highly acrimonious and litigious financial remedy proceedings since late 2019.
Mr and Mrs Crowther had run a successful shipping business. Mrs Crowther obtained a freezing injunction against Mr Crowther and the second to sixth respondents ( the Castle parties). The freezing injunction was discharged but reinstated by the Court of Appeal. She alleged she and Mr Crowther were the beneficial owners of 5 ships worth approximately £7-10million.

We all have had to arrange clients to sign the required “statement of truth” concerning the contents of pleadings in court proceedings. Some arbitrators are directing similar signed statements on statements of case and memoranda in arbitrations.
But, what are the consequences (if any) – for the person who signed the statement of truth - where something in the pleadings turns out to be inaccurate?
In
Mathnasium Center Licensing, LLC v Chang Chi Hung (aka Alex Chang) [2020] HKCA 1016, the Hong Kong Court of Appeal (the “
Court”) dealt with this question. The case was even more noteworthy because the inaccuracy in the pleading was not an inaccurate positive allegation, but was a false admission of something pleaded by the other party.
