Pu Liu v Tibor Matyas [2020] EWHC 2923

Failure to mediate - no costs consequences
View judgment

Deputy Master gave little regard to failure to mediate because "it was highly unlikely that any mediation would have been successful in view of the position that Mr Matyas adopted in the correspondence." Probably a case confined to its facts.
