Anon 04.33pm - Master Gordon Saker said in the recent case of BNM v. MGN Limited [2016] EWHC B13 "Had it been intended that costs should never exceed the sums in issue the rule could easily have stated that. There will be cases in which the costs bear a reasonable relationship to the sums in issue even though they exceed those sums." In that case damages were £20K and costs allowed were c. £84K As Anon 04:16pm says, about 1:4.
