Significant Cases:

Lucy represented the Defendant and secured an order that the Claimant should pay the Defendant's costs of the action from the date of part 36 offer 15 months earlier on the grounds of conduct despite the fact that the offer was subsequently withdrawn and (because of the impact of CRU) the Claimant ultimately recovered a greater net sum than the offer allowed for.
