<p>The case brought by the Rutherford family was heard with six other cases, therefore
separate figures for individual cases are not available. The legal costs (to 9 November
2016) of the Supreme Court proceedings for Rutherford and the other joined cases are
£206,841.65.</p><p>The total legal costs of the High Court proceedings for Rutherford
and the Court of Appeal proceedings for “A” and Rutherford are £91,772.28.</p><p>These
figures include VAT where payable (for example on Counsel’s fees) and disbursements
but does not include costs attributable to time spent by Government advisory lawyers,
as time spent by such advisory lawyers is not recorded in a manner that allows it
to be attributable to individual cases.</p>
