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for indemnity costs on preliminary issues in financial remedy proceedings when allegations of fraud and conspiracy were withdrawn and claims discontinued shortly before the trial.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.
