The principles to be applied in deciding whether to make a 'wasted cost order' under order 62, rules 10(1) and 28(1) were given by the judgment of Sir Thomas Bingham MR in the case of Ridehalgh v Horsefield and another and other appeals CA 14-17, 20, 21 December 1993, 26 January 1994. The judgment also defined the circumstances in which such orders should or should not be made.
