Summary
The Court refused the Claimant permission to appeal and later awarded costs to the Third Defendant. Although the general rule is that respondents do not recover costs in such applications, the Court departed from it due to the hopeless nature of the appeal and the need for the Third Defendant’s assistance. The Claimant was ordered to pay USD 2,500 in costs. Download PDF
