The High Court awarded costs to the defendants in respect of three discovery applications by the plaintiff, all of which were refused, in a case involving a content moderator's employment relationship with a digital services company. The court found no basis to reserve or postpone the decision on costs until the jurisdiction challenge is heard, as the Plaintiff had requested. The original decision to refuse the discovery sought was based on the conclusion that it was not necessary for the fair disposal of the jurisdiction issue.
