The court varied the 1st order nisi so R1 must pay costs to both the Applicant and the Board, and made absolute the 2nd order nisi so the Board must pay the Applicant's costs: the Board, having elected to join and adopt an adversarial role, assumed the risk of an adverse costs order after trial; the statutory scheme in ECAO did not justify departing from the ordinary rule that costs follow the event given the Board's conduct and loss at trial.
