mr  was well aware because he'd been told by the plaintiffs solicitors that the plaintiffs received terms for cover or to obtain interest on their costs, the plaintiffs solicitors wrote specifically to mr  enquiring was his offer in, in the sum of forty two thousand pounds, that's er the possible agreed settlement figure for costs, er if it was inclusive or exclusive of interest erm there were some delay but er mr  wrote back in due course making clear that interest wasn't included, i should also say that in mr  er proposed bill of costs he had disallowed interest for a fairly short period in respect of both the plaintiffs bill of costs and the defendants bill of costs and the plaintiffs solicitors don't appear to have erm taken any point on that, but as i say it, the point as to interest was specifically raised by the plaintiffs solicitors letter and er i'm quite satisfied on the correspondence that they  when it came to the matter were seen, were desires of obtaining interest  in respect of their costs.
