2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

Ms Geraldine Tallon:

As I understand it, Judge Mahon rules that a claim for costs is eligible, but he does not rule on the quantum. He may, however, make certain findings that will limit the quantum where, for example, he rules that the costs are eligible for X% of time rather than Y% of time.
