Is a plaintiff entitled to travel expenses to and from Italy and the hotel expenses to Italy?

Eligibility for this"entitlement, however, was confined solely to instances where the party was a material and necessary witness in the cause. No party was entitled to his or her costs for otherwise attending in court. That point was made in Harbin v. Gordon, [1914] 2 K.B. 577, where a successful plaintiff was allowed his travel expenses to and from Italy and his hotel expenses while in England. Buckley, L.J., said in Harbin at p. 586: "The plaintiff, as a party litigant, was not entitled to any allowance, but as a witness he was entitled to an allowance like any other witness, and none the less because he was also a party litigant."
