R (on the application of Agyemang) v Haringey London Borough Council [2017] EWCA Civ 1630, [2017] All ER (D) 145 (Oct)
There would be no order for costs in the case of a publicly funded claimant whose case against the defendant local authority had been settled. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division held that on the facts it was impossible to predict whether the claimant would have obtained the subsistence payments she had been seeking and therefore the case fell within the second limb of the test in R (M) v Croydon London Borough Council.
