Summary

Indah Veby Mega's solicitors, Ip Kwan & Co, appealed a costs order disallowing legal aid taxation of certain costs and imposing a no-legal-aid-taxation order (NLATO) after it was found the firm had failed to lodge interlocutory judgment within required timescales in an employment discrimination case. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part, finding the judge had not given prior indication she was considering a wasted costs order, denying IKC procedural fairness.
