Court of Appeal adjusts the High Court costs awarded to the appellant, entitling them to 18/20 of their costs from the initial trial, correcting the trial judge's earlier apportionment, on the grounds that the actual duration of the trial was 20 days instead of the 19 days initially considered by the trial judge; but the court declined to award the appellant costs for the appeal itself, stating that the appellant's personal and financial circumstances do not justify deviating from the principle that costs should follow the event.
