Have You Been Mulcted ?

To be " mulcted in costs" is used in  legal fields, and essentially means  to obtain money by means of imposing a fine or tax.

The plaintiff  applies to a court for damages against their intended victim and assumes the defendant will capitulate rather than spend a fortune on solicitors costs..

Instead of admitting fault  a bully can use the monies it takes from its victims to effectively financially cripple anyone who complains about their practices, thats why they are so litigious and take out High Court Injunctions, by making their detractor the  "defendant" (victim) scares everyone from saying anything about their modus operandi..

Lets face it most of us would back down when faced with legal costs that exceed the likely renumeration.... SO HOW IS JUSTICE TO BE DONE and at WHAT PRICE ?

In this case the defendant (victim) did stand up to the bully the Judge instead awards the defendant a financial settlement against the plaintiff,  this is a real slap in the face for the bully,  the award formula is extra-ordinary and can be represented by the equation     X+Y= M
 
    £X-000's the plaintiff claimed +£Y for inconvenience and costs incurred by the defendant equals M  mulcted in costs award to the defendant,. 
 
The plaintiff *  had brought a case to court vexatiously in an attempt to bully the alledged defendant,  a Judge after spending considerable deliberation and listening to all pleadings and cross examination  ruled that not only was the plaintiff wrong to bring the claim to court but also was attempting to buy a legal or punitive sanction by the back door.

The Judge is showing displeasure and possibly angered  when such a  case is brought before the court,  prepared by a £multimillion ministry of justice contractor who should know better, despite several warnings.

 The plaintiff  who claims to be in charge of a group experts in their Fields :  digital intelligence, data recovery, computer forensics, quickie divorces and will writing, as well as claiming to have expert computer forensics witnesses, will no doubt have felt the judges displeasure by being "mulcted in costs" and the Judge  reinforces the idea that vexatious or malicious procecution is not what courts are for.
 
Such rulings are extremely rare and when awarded effectively means the Judge not only throws the case out but is effectively say  "Do not try this again"

We all await the outcome of the High Court Injunction  -  of course the Fields Group claim to process  2500 Injunctions a year in the UK -   I wonder if they are all against their victims ?.  Action Direct UK Ltd another Fields Group operation Ministry of Justice Ruled against them

* Fields Associates (Plaintiff) v Fasthosts and A Butler (Defendants) (Feb 2011)  - The Fields Group were "Mulcted" and ordered to pay more than they had claimed in damages.
