Dowding v Character Group: Tribunal Costs

Tom Ogg speaks to Michael White about Dowding v The Character Group plc [2024] EAT 153, a case which touches on the most common questions relating to costs in the Tribunal.  How should a Tribunal assess whether a claim had no reasonable prospect of success?  What kind of conduct is ‘unreasonable’ such that costs should be awarded – including in relation to the refusal of settlement offers?  How should Tribunals decide upon the amount of a costs award?  And in what circumstances should ‘indemnity’ costs be awarded?
