"The defendant, represented by national firm Kennedys, argued that the claimant should receive no costs benefits because the offer was not a ‘genuine attempt’ to settle the case. Lawyers said that just a 10% reduction was not a realistic assessment of the risks of the litigation and the reasons for the figure were not explained."

Given that they won the entire case, it looks to me like it WAS a realistic assessment of the risks. I.e. there were very few.
