Daily Mail publisher wins ECHR case against ‘success fees’ paid to lawyers

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 12 November 2024

Associated Newspapers argued it was ‘excessive’ for such fees to be added to the costs of people who had sued it

The publisher of the Daily Mail has won a legal battle at the European court of human rights over the payment of “success fees” to lawyers representing people who have sued it.

In 2021 Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL) lodged a case with the Strasbourg court over costs it had to pay after two cases, one of which was settled before it went to trial.
