- DCCJ5928/2019
The court held the issues of the claim and counterclaim were substantively intertwined, the counterclaim rode on the defence and was not a separate action for costs purposes, the vast majority of court time was spent on the plaintiff's claim, and therefore it was just to vary the costs nisi so the plaintiff bears 95% of the defendant's costs while making no order for costs of the Summons.
