From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
If the Applicants had engaged in pre-action correspondence, as the Respondent has said they should, the Respondent would have incurred the cost of responding as they did on 12th April 2018. … As the Tribunal understands it, this is the Respondent’s costs bill for pursuing its original costs claim of £2,236.73. There being no basis for the original claim, this only constituted throwing good money after bad. Moreover, the sum involved, being 125% of the original costs, is wholly disproportionate. … Further, the sums claimed are based on hourly rates for three directors of the Respondent company. … The basis for these figures is not given. As the Tribunal understands it, these people are effectively litigants in person. … There is no evidence of any service agreement by which they provide representation services to the company at a pre-determined rate. … Conclusion. In the circumstances, the Respondent’s application for costs must be refused.
