UK High Court rules assets were gifted before death, orders £259,725 in legal costs

A High Court judge ruled that specific assets of the deceased were legitimate gifts received by Masudur Rahman before death, dating back to October 2020. This ruling ignited legal contention with four co-defendants. The court detailed the asset scope, allowing appeals on particular grounds. Rahman secured costs due to his successful claim, but his plea for an enhanced costs budget was ultimately denied by the judge.
