High Court makes no order as to costs in proceedings where a Malawian national sought an injunction pending the determination of his application to revoke a deportation order against him, which was premised on the forthcoming birth of a child, and which became moot on the birth of the child, on the grounds that there was no 'event'.
Asylum and immigration – judicial review – costs of legal proceedings - Malawian national seeking an injunction pending the determination of his application to revoke a deportation order against him, which application is premised on the forthcoming birth of a child – claimed asylum on a false basis – partner became pregnant - failed to present to the GNIB and was arrested - granted an ex parte injunction against deportation granted bail - proceedings became moot on the birth of the child – sought costs of the legal proceedings - fact that the passage of time following the injunction meant that the applicants got what they were looking for in the short term does not automatically constitute an event and certainly does not do so here – absence of an event - default order is no order as to costs – no order as to costs –
