Orders for costs
Where the claimant was found to have been wrongly demoted from his position with the defendant employer following postings on his Facebook page, it would be unjust for the claimant to have to pay the defendant's costs of the proceedings from three weeks after its effective Part 36 offer. The case had not been primarily about money for either of the parties and had properly been taken to trial by both and the claimant had been, in reality, the successful party. No order for costs (Smith v Trafford Housing Society).
