The judge concluded there was no sufficient reason to depart from the ordinary rule that an applicant who discontinues judicial review proceedings should pay costs; having considered reasonableness and proportionality and duplication across two related actions, the court ordered the Applicant to pay the costs of the 2nd Putative Respondent and the 1st and 2nd Putative Interested Parties, summarily assessed at $35,000 per action, totalling $70,000.
