In the matter of SecureNet Technologies Pty Ltd [2022] NSWSC 231

Given the mixed result, Mr Wilson could not fairly be characterised as the successful party and did not enjoy the better side of the mixed events arising from the Earlier Judgment. There was no basis to apportion costs to particular issues or to order that the Plaintiffs pay 75% of his costs, and the appropriate order was no order as to the costs of the proceedings.
