§ Lord Morris of Manchesterasked Her Majesty's Government:
What were the costs to the taxpayer of taking the Gulf War veteran case of Shaun Rusling to the High Court; and if the costs are still not fully ascertainable, what is their present estimate of the total costs involved. [HL4216]
§ Lord BachLegal costs in respect of the High Court appeal in the case of Mr Shaun Rusling have yet to be finalised. Costs settled up to 22 July 2003 totalled £44,206.77, but an estimate of the total amount involved is not possible as the Treasury Solicitor is still in discussion with the defendant's lawyers regarding their costs.
