Court of Appeal awards the respondent company its costs of following the unsuccessful application by the appellant for a stay on a previous costs order made by the Court, on the grounds that: (a) there was no basis for the suggestion that the costs of the hearing are attributable to the respondent company’s request that the appellant proceed by motion; and (b) the Court was not persuaded that it would be unjust to make a further order for costs against the appellant.
