I was successful at the High Court in the costs hearing. I am owed £20K on account to be paid within 28 days on an interim basis (approximately 40% of my costs).
I will now consider enforcement proceedings. I am quite pleased with the outcome of today.
On a train heading north from Waverley. A guy gets on wearing an orange jacket, cobalt blue troosers and green socks. Christ, I thought, this auld fella is dressed as Michael Portillo. Auld fella turns around. It is Michael Portillo.

It is a certainty that some people close to death suffer unbearable pain. It is only a possibility that the system may be abused
