A rather late response.
Of course the small claims track does make it much easier to start a claim and the loser would pay the fee- still several hundred pounds. Perhaps Getty will go down that route in future.
Not a small claim, I know, but it could have been- Sheldon v Daybrook is a case where the court ordered a fee far higher than even the photographer had asked for.
I have a suggestion as to why threads on here tend to peter out- people get legal advice to settle, and they do.
I've just had a four-figure settlement from a medium-sized company- unintended copying, innocent infringement and all that. I'm sure my without prejudice offer was accepted because they took advice that the small claims court would award no less. That was all done with screenshots.
