The High Court has ruled that no order as to costs should be made in two separate cases where the applicants sought orders to compel the Minister for Justice to make decisions on their residency applications. The applications became moot as the Minister made the decisions sought by the applicants during the proceedings. The court found no causal nexus between the proceedings and the Minister's decisions, concluding that the decisions were made in line with the existing system and not influenced by the legal action.
