Holding

Facts

Issues

  2. Whether the applicant would be prejudiced if the respondent's costs were paid

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant was successful in the law suit and the respondent's costs were legal fees. The court was not convinced that the applicant would be prejudiced if the respondent's costs were paid.

Outcome
