The Court of Appeal, having previously upheld the High Court's dismissal of an action for defamation and malicious falsehood, rejecting the appellant's appeal, dismisses the appellant's subsequent challenge to the provisional view on costs, with the court affirming the respondent's entitlement to costs as the "entirely successful" party. The appellant failed to present any grounds under the relevant statute, or the Rules of the Superior Courts, to deviate from the standard rule that costs follow the event.
