In 1996 Diabetes UK (British Diabetic Association) spent £609,000 of charity money on solicitors' fees suing a diabetic family. Lord Justice Walker described this as "scandelous" and "deplorable". When they were successful with the litigation Lord Justice Walker awarded them 3/4 of their costs (£609,000). This is the Taxing Master's Certificate at the High Court.
