The court ordered the 1st respondent entitled to its costs incurred from 6 March 2000 and no order as to costs prior to that date; as to the 2nd respondent, the court exercised its discretion in light of the petitioners having achieved their primary objective (the independent enquiry) and ordered that each side bear its own costs. The court declined to decide the novel jurisdictional question whether s168A applies to overseas companies because it was unnecessary to resolve the costs dispute and was more appropriately determined elsewhere.
