The court ordered the applicant to pay the putative respondents' costs of the JR proceedings on an indemnity basis and to pay the Secretary for Justice's costs in the OS proceedings on a party‑and‑party basis up to 13 April 2023 and on an indemnity basis thereafter, because the JR was wholly unmeritorious (NSC Decision final and not reviewable under the NPCSC Interpretation), the parties provided full substantive argument, and the applicant unreasonably persisted after a clear without‑prejudice costs warning.
