The court exercised its discretion under O.62 r.3(2) and ordered no order as to costs because the applicant instituted an arguable judicial review advancing a legitimate public interest (resolving a long-standing constitutional dispute over the limits of Legislative Council members' powers and the constitutionality of r.57(6)), was not motivated by private gain, and thus fairness required that costs lie where they fell.
