Leigh Day claims £105m costs for Trafigura litigation

£50m running a claim against the BoE. Hmm, no, that was Lovells, who are very definitely not magic circle. The Magic circle firm (Freshfields) was the one defending the BoE, and they won. Also, to be fair to Lovells, there was a lot more money (potentially) at stake in the BCCI litigation. To claim £105m costs on a case that was only ever worth a max of £100m (and no doubt that was itself a hopelessly optimistic overstatement) is outrageous. Let them hang (whoever they are).
