The defendant's application to vary the costs order is dismissed because the defendant failed to show forensic prejudice; section 30 restricts the court to statutory factors (which do not include alternative remedy) and, absent evidence that the plaintiff's solicitor had effective insurance or that an insurer is solvent, alternative remedy carries little or no weight; binding authority requires favouring the plaintiff where no prejudice shown.
