Court of Appeal determines that costs should follow the event after the appellants were unsuccessful in their appeal of a decision which struck out their proceedings for being frivolous, vexatious and/or bound to fail, on the grounds that there was no reason to order otherwise than granting the entirely successful respondents the costs of the substantive appeal.
Practice and procedure - costs of legal proceedings - appeal against order striking out proceedings as frivolous and/or vexatious and/or bound to fail - issue of costs - costs awarded to respondents - appellants not entitled to their own costs - no reason to order otherwise than granting the entirely successful respondents the costs of the substantive appeal - costs follow the event - balance of justice did not require the court to take the unusual step of staying the order for costs pending the outcome of separate proceedings - stay on the costs order for 21 days from the date of the judgment to enable an application to be made to the Supreme Court should the appellants wish to do so
