What this case proves is that abolishing security for costs in the House of Lords in 1999 was folly and it should be brought back into the UKSC and preferably the Court of Appeal too NOW. By payment into court or by insurance policy. A respondent to an appeal who wins and cannot get his costs back is the victim of legalised blackmail and extortion.

And while we are about it: reduce the fees in the ET but make losers pay there and make every claimant insure the risk.
