Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV181/2015

The defendant is awarded the whole costs of the appeal because she succeeded on the central issues (implied duty of good faith and rationality and on an error regarding implied duty of valid reason), was not unreasonable in prosecuting the appeal, and the failed collateral contract point did not materially increase the appeal costs; costs below are reserved to the trial judge and the defendant's own costs are to be taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
