Drew v Whitbread plc [2010] EWCA Civ 53; [2010] WLR (D) 41
“A party was not precluded from raising a matter before a costs judge on an assessment of costs which it had not raised before the trial judge when he exercised his discretion as to costs. Consequently a party could raise with the costs judge the issue that the case should have been a fast track case with costs assessed accordingly. The costs judge was not entitled simply to say that the costs would be assessed as if it were a fast track case but should proceed on the basis that the fact that the case should have been fast track was something to be taken into account when assessing costs.”
