Court of Appeal, on appeal from the High Court, grants appellant two-third of the costs of the appeal, on the grounds that: (a) he had obtained relief which he would not have obtained had he not appealed; but (b) he was only partially successful, so the deduction of one-third reflected the time and cost of addressing arguments in which he was unsuccessful.
Murray J (nem diss): Costs - appeal from refusal of injunction - error in award of some costs against appellant - failure of appellant on 11 out of 16 grounds of appeal - awards of costs in complex litigation - relief obtained on appeal - partial victory only.
