In the matter of JC Jewels Pty Ltd ACN 628 983 773 (No 2) [2024] NSWSC 581

The plaintiffs' claim for interlocutory relief failed, and neither their good faith, their prima facie case, nor the possibility of later success at a final hearing justified departing from the ordinary rule that costs follow the event. The plaintiffs were therefore ordered to pay the defendants' costs of the claim for interlocutory relief.
