Where multiple discrete claims are litigated and the time attributable to successful and unsuccessful claims can be differentiated, the court will exercise its discretion to depart from a single follow-the-event costs order and apportion costs to reflect the time spent; given the novelty of Part VIA claims the court declined to make the Plaintiff bear the Defendant's costs relating to those failed claims and varied the order nisi to apportion costs for appeal and for the action accordingly.
