High Court grants order that a former High Court judge was entitled to recoup from the Minister for Justice, in addition to the former judge's own costs, the costs he was liable to pay to the Bar Council of Ireland, where the judge had succeeded in his claim against the Minister but failed in his case against the Bar Council, on the grounds that proceedings against both defendants were fundamentally joined together by the circumstances.
Judicial review - costs - application by former High Court judge concerning entitlement to legal aid - costs awarded to applicant against state - costs awarded to Bar Council (professional body) against applicant - application by applicant for 'order over' in respect of costs to Bar Council - s.78 of the Courts of Justice Act 1936 - discretion of court - if 'proper' to do so - circumstances of case.
