High Court makes no order as to costs in proceedings where a national from the Democratic Republic of the Congo sought an injunction pending the lawful determination of his application to be re-admitted into the asylum process, which became moot when his application was refused, on the grounds that what made the case moot was the refusal of the application to be re-admitted, which was not caused by the proceedings; and in such cases the default order is no order as to costs.
