The Court concluded the Release Summons and the renewed leave application were overbroad and inadequately justified as to relevance and necessity; no exceptional circumstances existed to depart from the ordinary rule that a withdrawing party bears costs; the high threshold for appellate interference with a judge’s discretionary exercise was not met; accordingly the Wife must pay the Husband’s costs of the Court of Appeal summons and reserved costs, to be taxed if not agreed, certificate for two counsel.
