The court found the Director-General had changed his policy prior to the decision so the contested interpretation of CAD371 was peripheral; the Director-General's decision accorded with the changed policy and was therefore lawful. Costs follow the event: the applicant must pay the respondent's full costs (including costs of the costs issue). Cathay Pacific, while having a legitimate distinct interest, could have reduced duplication and is entitled to only 30% of its costs excluding any costs incurred in relation to the costs issue.
