Manolete Case Study: Costs Order against Manolete Upheld Despite Outstanding Judgment Debt (Section 194 LSA 2007)

In Manolete Partners PLC v White, the Court of Appeal ruled that a pro bono costs order under Section 194 LSA 2007 for £85,000 payable to the Access to Justice Foundation (AJF) was unconditional and could not be set off against the pro bono party’s outstanding judgment debt, reinforcing the distinct legislative purposes of the provision.
