Court rejected automatic entitlement under Wellegant but accepted entitlement under the Lai Ki principle; adopted an issue‑based apportionment, holding Wellegant reliance was not unreasonable so there would be no order as to costs on that issue, and awarded plaintiffs 2/5 of the costs for the application to reflect time apportionment and overall success.
