Dear Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy,

During its High Court Horizon Litigation, Judge Fraser originally asked POL to report its legal costs to the Court at £250k intervals, but POL costs rose so rapidly he had to adjust the reporting interval to £500k:

At what intervals was it decided that POL would report its legal costs to BEIS/UKGI and was this reporting interval ever adjusted to accommodate the high rate of expenditure?
Yours faithfully,

Eleanor Shaikh
