520			_aCA 8 July 1997. The first plaintiffs leased a warehouse and factory from the second plaintiffs which the first defendant negligently set alight, causing damage to the first plaintiff costing £986,696 and to the second plaintiff the sum of £142,516. The first defendant had no assets but was covered by an insurance policy which covered accidential damage to property. The policy limited indeminity for costs resulting from one claim to £1m. The plaintiffs accepted £1m in settlement of all claims against the first defendant but reserved the right to argue that the insurers should be liable in addition for the costs of the action. The insurers were subsequently ordered to pay costs pursuant to Supreme Court Act 1981 s51 and appealed. Held, appeal dismissed.
